Carey is such a good storyteller. This was an absolute page-turner, especially in the last half.

This could almost have been one of his Felix Castor stories, but I'm glad it wasn't. I loved that most of the main characters were women, and especially women doing bad things, my favorite genre.

I was intrigued by the spirituality theory expressed in the book which seems to be that dreams and the world of the dead are very close.

It's not as unique as The Girl with All the Gifts. A lot of the story used prison and drug addict clichés that I've seen in other media. Also, some of the characters were unrealistically stupid and self-serving in order to build tension. (Or maybe I just have too much faith in humanity.) These minor criticisms didn't diminish my enjoyment of the book.
