This was a title that came out of nowhere. I was at a going-out-of-business sale at a bookstore and picked up the hardcover for this book. I'll admit that it was based on cover art alone, though the synopsis ensnared me quickly.

I would call this a "folk horror coming of age novel," though it also has strong elements of military PTSD, family strife, grief, friendship, and contemporary world vs ancient world. This is marketed as a book for teens and reads that way, so while the prose is perhaps less complex, the subject matter is engaging and the story… show more.
