I really enjoyed the book. It was such a different vibe from She is a Haunting. The imagery of the setting of the mutated swamp was so well done and described. The passages of body horror were described in a way that was so unsettling but not completely gross. 

The character of Noon was really well written. Dealing with a natural disaster, loss as a result, complicated family dynamics, and exploration of their own identity. Her choices are measured and difficult, often with no "right" option, leading to a complex character journey as they all try to survive.  

The book blends eco-horror, Vietnamese folklore, and body horror in a striking piece. It handles the trauma of our characters with care, and delivers a deeply immersive exploration of identity, climate change, class, and intersectionality on a horrific backdrop. 

I listened to a portion of the audio to get a sense of the narration. The narrator I thought was good and the story was really engaging via audio. 

Disclosure: I received a free hardcover from the publisher and a free ALC from Libro.FM.
