Bizarre Horror, Older Fantasy, Historical Fiction, and More | Reading Wrap Up

I thought it was really pretty darling. I quite liked this one.

The themes are, I think, significant and there's a reason that they resonate with a lot of people, but it also has a very distinct tone to it.

That is not to say that I didn't still think the book was fascinating, well researched, and that it didn't provide an interesting look overall at everything. It absolutely did. That was just my one thing is I really wanted a little bit more out of it either from the Ruby Ridge angle or the belief system angle and getting into how that all developed.

And then just the weirdest stuff is happening and you're like, "What is going on?" And it's gross and visceral and creepy. And I loved it.

I did like the world building. I liked I always like more intrigue in stories. I do wish we had more of a connection to other characters.

I really liked the first half, I would say, of this book. The second half I actually kind of wish had just been maybe broken up into another book.
