I wanted to love this one but really it was too long and one note for me.

It was very long, and the situation was pretty much the same for like 75% of the book and the character alternated between the same 3 states of mind over and over and over again. Now, I can imagine there are people for whom that kind of horror is particularly effective, but I am not one of them so for me it was just progressively getting more and more tedious. It didn't particularly help that I never really grew particularly invested in Gyre since she never felt like a fully formed character to me.

Neutral 2.5 rounded up.
