Nothing in life is ever black and white, or easy to discern, and I loved how this complicated truth was woven into Thea’s character arc and plot. None of her options are good ones, and there’s a vivid reality in that. How no matter what decision she makes, it’s never clear it’s the right one. She is very human, making flawed choices, but her character is so nuanced, that there is no clear direction or predictability for her.Īnd that’s one of the things I loved about this book. Her loneliness is so poignant, it hurts at time, but even so she pushes forward, showing her inner strength and fortitude. She’s smart and driven, but isn’t immune to her emotions. It’s creepy and enchanting in equal measure, topped with a plot that had me guessing the entire time. Heading into my favorite holiday of the year, this was such a perfect read for me.
