Review: Don’t Let the Forest In
While I ultimately didn't find the plot to be as satisfying as I'd hoped, that doesn't mean this book is without its merit. Author C.G. Drews is a talented writer and despite losing interest in the story here and there, I always found the prose to be poetic and strong. Notably, their descriptions of the forest and its elements really stood out. Every time it crept off the pages and came to life in a way that felt like you could feel, smell, and taste it. Conversely, their monsters were a bit lackluster. Easily defeated and never present long enough to sustain the tension. I would have preferred them to be more haunting and for there to be more consequence to their existence.
