This book was pretty slow going from the start. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it but as we discover the different characters and the close-knit community vibes the story begins to develop. I enjoyed it more once it started to delve more into the mysterious elements of the story and Lid begins to piece together the mystery of the girl. I also enjoyed the religious notes and themes within the story, highlighting the extent to which some people will go to for religion, or to prove/disprove their point. I’m just not quite sure I agree with it being described as a thriller. 

The ending was unexpected and I’m not sure how I felt about it. It just felt like it left us wondering where the story would go next without any conclusive answers. 

I didn’t get around to writing my review until a few weeks after finishing the book so I’m probably missing some key opinions, however I can’t say I’ve thought about the book much since finishing it and wouldn’t be rushing to return to it so maybe that says enough.
