More of an invisible companion’s pov on a relocation than an adventure tale. Investing enough that I kept picking it up & finished it, but not engrossing enough to keep me from putting it down & walking away for a few days. (Good for a few-chapters-at-a-time-read vs a binge-it-all-read). The antagonist is overly clear but the character development of everyone other than that person is well done.

I didn't really know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised - at least for the first 400 pages.

The 'Company' consists of nine very different characters with equally different and severe secrets. The author describes the characters and the setting in such a vivid - sometimes downright chilling - way that you feel as if you're a part of the group. You really don't want to be but that's not the point. With every chapter you learn something new about the secrets they're keeping and you start guessing what it could be. With some, you know quite quickly what it could be others are more surprising.

While it was page-turnerish it was just about 200 pages too long to be a 'quick' read. <s>Or maybe I just didn't take enough time off to continue reading...</s>

Unfortunately, I didn't like the ending. Mostly because I like the story to be finished and I want to know what happens to all the characters and not just the main one.

Overall, I really liked this book. It wasn't painfully predictable nor too 'twisty'. It had great morally grey characters and a clear storyline. Occasionally it was a bit gruesome and displayed some terrible mindsets of the middle ages - unfortunately, some still exist today. In other words, a few times I had to keep myself from throwing the book at a wall out of sheer frustration. So, maybe not for the faint-hearted or empathic. 

A solid audiobook for background noise while I was cooking. I actually really enjoyed this overall, it wasn't anything life-changing but I quite liked that, really well written though. Plus the twist at the end I actually wasn't expecting.
