the only critiques i have are
1. we should've done more with

noah and/or conrad i think?? conrad

just felt like a very obvious red herring that we never did anything with
2. the reveals that

arturo and carolyn

are the witches was so expected 😭 i didnt think they were actually the witches bc it was too obvious and yet...

This was an amazing horror book. I was full of worry and dread for so many of the characters. In the beginning it was a bit slow because three timelines had to be introduced. But the way she interconnected those storylines was so well done. It was obvious who the witches were but that didn’t diminish the book at all. I did have to pause the book for a while to grapple with the

incest. I never understood why it was necessary to the story. Arturo could have been a more distant relative or close to the family another way. And it was never addressed as wrong. I could be missing context from over 100 years ago but my 2025 mind was very upset

. But once I decided to finish the book I was so satisfied.

Thank God Hideo is ok. I was worried every time he did anything alone lol
