Oh no guys there's horror in a horror book! Anyways. I like that the author didn't shy away from the atrocities that happened in a way that didn't make it forgivable. He allowed her to get justice. I saw several people talk about Booka and that Abi should've exploded then and there. I think you have instant gratification issues; it was another realistic depiction of witch trials and her not exploding right there showed how broken she was. She fought for the entire book, but they wore her down so much, she just accepted it and let it fuel her sadness (into anger). Plus she literally couldn't do anything like did you guys not read the part where she was bound and Samson was sleeping? Honestly, I liked the slow pacing and the gradual increase in the fuckery that was happening. I often see books rush through the setup to get to the climax and then stumble into the middle of it, suddenly the whole plot is being thrown at you with the first punch. I think the opposite happened and the last part of the book wasn't long enough. I will also say, I did not care for the epilogue, it really wasn't needed in my opinion and for once I wanted to to be left up to the reader's decision/imagination. I do understand the negative outlook on how Natives were treated in this book, but I will say that I'm not Native so I can't give a full review on it, however it is interesting he did converse with an actual Native Pequot person! My last thing is guys check the trigger warnings before you read a book, stop negatively reviewing a book solely based on the fact you neglected to do so.
