So far it reads more like literary fiction than horror. There is a survival aspect but since none of the characters express any emotion, it feels like there isn't any threat and the graphic parts don't feel horrific like they should. Cannibalism is horrific because people feel things and no one feels much here.

Is the protagonist turning into the kind of person he hates? That's what it looks like right now.

So far an interesting story. I'm curious about the blooming romance. I wish the characters expressed more emotions though.

So far I like the book well enough. The characters express almost no emotion and that slows it down a bit for me but it's still an interesting story. For a first novel, it's pretty good.
