Despite the prose being overwritten at times, and the amount of violence against women, this book is about nature taking its revenge and breaking intergenerational trauma cycles.

From start to finish, this book was not what I expected. It's written in a way that I didn't expect from horror--not that I've read much of the genre. For the most part, it added to the cyclical, mysterious feel of the story. Only occasionally did I get confused on timing.
