OOOHH this was sooo good! Chilling and atmospheric, with incredible imagery and an amazing audiobook! I loved the portrayal of morally complicated characters and the journey Eded undertook! Hightly recommend, maybe for a spooky summer read with the bubble of a stream in the background? I loved the ghosty vibes and it thankfully wasn't too creepy! Loved it :)

My least favorite 😒
This was more “These Fleeting Shadows” and less “Rules For Vanishing”, “Our Last Echoes”, or “I Am Still Alive”. I can’t tell if the books are progressively getting worse or if I’m just crazy 🤷‍♀️
