I was worried this would be a The Village situation and am so pleased it isn’t. I like how eerily familiar and unknown the forest feels. I love how confused I am about what I’m supposed to be afraid of. You can really feel the care put into the world and lore building and i feel like that’s rare lately. You can also feel something watching you through the boundary as you read and it’s a good squirmy feeling.

First two acts: perfection. The third act so far: feels very rushed and info-dumpy.

This was shaping up to be a five star read. Why must we always have an insufferable love triangle. I thought having a protagonist in her late twenties would keep me safe from this fate.
