This book was an absolute riot from start to finish—so inventive and fresh while also having so much heart. I absolutely loved the characters; they felt so real and specific. The plural narration functioned so well with the plot, and the details of the setting were so specific and used such innovate language and imagery. (I consider myself to have a pretty good vocabulary, but I had to look up quite a few words.) I think the narrative could have gotten even darker, but based on the ending, I’m actually glad that it wasn’t. This was such a wholly original book, and I’ll definitely reread it during future spooky seasons.
