This novel was genuinely such a surprise, I was expecting a pulpy horror-thriller and got something far deeper and philosophical. So many themes and moral dilemmas were touched on here which added an intense layer of complexity to it, while also being very simple to understand and follow. I loved this novel a lot, my one criticism is the unnecessary footnotes - they came across as annoying more than anything, and they either could have just been a regular bit of prose, or omitted entirely. Regardless, I adored this.
