The Luminous Dead

The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling is a sci-fi psychological horror novel. Gyer is a spelunker, going down in a cave in a high tech suit hoping to earn enough to get a ticket off-world. The book has lots of twists and surprises. It has a few unsettling sections. Unfortunately I don't have many other good things to say about it. I felt like this book was too long and too repetitive, and therefore kind of boring. The characters kind of just did the same things over and over, with minor differences. Things picked up a bit toward the end, but I found one character (and there were basically only two) pretty unlikable and therefore struggled with how the book ended. I picked this up thinking it was going to be sci-fi horror, and it is, but it's really more psychological in my opinion. Sadly I wouldn't really recommend this one, unless you're super into caves or something. ⭐️⭐️✨
