Review
Thank you to Penguin Random House and Delacorte Press for an ARC of this book!
As you all know, I’m a HUGE fan of Erin Craig. I will pretty much love anything and everything by her, and this book is no exception to the rule.
This book was such a cool take on death and gods and deities, and I felt that it heavily pulled from folklore as well. It’s almost like it is familiar — yet not? It’s very hard to explain, but the book itself was entirely addictive.
Hazel has to be one of my favorite characters. I loved her strong personality, but I also loved that she was human too, and I think that was what a big part of this book was about — mortality vs immortality.
This was an absolutely atmospheric gothic fantasy, definitely trending a little more onto the horror side than previous works.
I thought it was a beautifully written story about death, life and the balance in the world.
This book resonates with you, and it left me thinking after I had put it down. Still thinking about it — still digesting.
Definitely one to add to your TBR if you love gothic fantasy!
