Unfortunately for me, the only thing I really felt during my listen of this one was meh. Not necessarily bad, it just did nothing for me. The narration was good though.
This is an eco thriller and horror that blends commentary on race with family drama, trauma, and woodland terrors. It is a dual timeline that for me kind of killed the pacing. Not to mention, I wanted nothing to do with mentions of a fifteen-year-old grinding on a man’s lap and maste**ating. While it wasn’t terribly detailed, it was entirely unnecessary. The switches in time did come into play later, but instead of a big reveal it changed in tone to almost textbook sounding explanation.
The family drama really has no resolution, and with that, therefore doesn’t ever really come to anything. It’s commenting on anger, loss, grief, changing and becoming, but I didn’t find it to be well handled. I never ended up caring about the characters or the redwood forest.
Not for me sadly.
