The plot was there, I got engaged quickly and it felt really new and different. That's what I liked most about this book. The characters were all right, nothing special. But the water spirits and "people of the water" cult kept the story going with their mystery and horrific sacrifices. I liked that there was some mystery's that you had to keep reading to figure out. Towards the end of the book some of the writing was convoluted, I had a hard time understanding what was going on because of how many perception changes there was. I also wasn't wowed by the last 50 or so pages and thought some of the loose ends could have been written better or made more complex. Especially the scene of the little boy getting saved and what happens to the water god. I understand the ending is supposed to be a little open-ended, which I hated in a recent book I read, but thought it was done in a pretty good way in this one. Pretty good horror scenes definitely graphic enough lol.
