This book was phenomenal. It's about three times as long as the books I normally read (~900 Kindle pages) so it took me awhile to finish. The multiple perspectives were done in a cohesive and easy to understand way. The monster was terrifying!!

The ending felt rushed, and there were some loose ends I wish the author had tied up. Also, I found myself …

Aside from those things, I will be buying this hardcover book for my bookshelf because it was a great historical fiction with a creepy, eerie monster and a punishing and terrifying environment.
