Been meaning to get this one for a while. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. Would buy from this store again.
Got it as a gift for a friend who loves the genre. Slow burn, but the burn is the point. Glad I finally picked this up.
Got it as a gift for a friend who loves the genre. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.
This has been on my wishlist for months. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. Slow burn, but the burn is the point. Good, with the caveats above.
