The violence in this one was very numbing. I read "My Darling Dreadful Thing" and "Blood on Her Tongue" and they were so right in their Horror/gothic universe but this child was so dark. Dark horror, dark gothic, dark historical, for real.
Such a hauntingly moving read.
Women were dying left and right. Corpses were hitching ride on other's backs, parents killing their kids, wives eating their husbands, soldiers making human meat soup... choking, oh don't even get me started on that flogging between the nun and non-believer 🤣🤣🤣... Overall, men are nasty. That farm scene was just so revolting, death to Otto. Thinking about how the book is formed in its entirety, I do understand the fate that the MCs got. But it wasn't easy to digest. The necromancer playing priest for Otto's confessions served that nasty piece of me with endorphins. 🙈🙈 I mean, that vile man. I am glad he didn't make it back to Freida.
