A History of Wild Places

4.5⭐ rounded down because I feel parts of this book were incredibly repetitive. It took awhile to get to the point of the sudden shift in the book which obviously all made sense with the reveal, but a different writing style might have suited this book. The reveal was kind of predictable however I do think the author did a great job portraying the hold an abusive relationship can have over someone. I have never been in a cult, but this fear mongering and controlling behavior from the leader could explain the more violent cult behavior.
