I have SO MANY unanswered questions and the main character in this book drove me mad sometimes... but I loved it? I had so much fun reading this and I couldn't put it down. The descriptions of creatures are stunning and really make you feel that unease and Lovecraftian horror, while keeping it lighter in tone because the main character just doesn't care that much. It was fascinating and it was so much more complex than the usual portrayal of the "is she crazy or is this happening?" troupe.  

This was flawed, it left plot lines hanging and a lot of the character decisions don't make sense, but it's just a damn good time and it sucks you into this world regardless of its flaws. 

I don't understand the ending fully, but I think that's fitting.

This was a delightful and relaxing read though the romance felt rushed and I would have loved to see more of Tandri and Viv spending time together and having deeper conversations. My favorite part of the book was the friendship between Viv and Roon. It felt very authentic and seeing it grow was what gave the strongest emotional impact in my opinion.
