What a weird strange book. It's about the book eaters but really it's more about like an abusive family/cult with extra steps. In that context it's very sad and tense for the majority of the book, but on the other hand there's still hope and good people within all the sad stuff. It was a very human book, for all that they didn't like humans. I was pretty captivated by the book, although I would have loved some more lore.
