  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

5.0

I didn't know this was a sporror and was pleasantly surprised. Fungi is the driving force of the death, decay, destruction and the wild stuff going on in this story. In many aspects, it reminds me of CJ Cooke's The Ghost Woods which I also thoroughly enjoyed. 

This book is my first ever 5 star rating of 2024! It gets an A from me in all aspects: the plot, the mystery, the twists, the gore, the eeriness. What a read to start the year!
