Consider checking the cws/tws. The art in the book is super spooky and cool. I think it added a lot to the experience!

I might've enjoyed it more if I didn't pick up an audiobook version. I didn't like the voices the lector was making.
I couldn't really care for the characters except one

It reminded me of The VVitch, so if you're in the mood for pilgrim themed horror that is not really scary you may enjoy.

Esse foi o primeiro livro que li do autor, e gostei da forma como ele construiu a história. Tudo começa simples, mas à medida que a trama avança, os temas de fantasia/folk e horror/crueldade (tem descrições de tortura e morte de animal) vão se intensificando gradualmente. Mas a melhor parte é mesmo Abitha e Samsom, tanto isoladamente quanto a relação de companheirismo deles. Os dois estavam perdidos, ela, sem saber como conseguiria fazer o que era o certo, e ele, sem saber quem era e seu propósito. Os dois se encontram, e ao se ajudarem, não apenas conseguem respostas, como conseguem suporte e acolhimento, algo que não tinham.
Pra quem apoia os direitos e os erros das mulheres, quer terminar o livro pensando "que bom pra ela", recomendo demais essa leitura. Dizem que vale a pena ouvir o audiobook, e estou considerando.
