EEEEEK! Jesus. I have no idea what's going to happen but it is VERY IMPORTANT THAT I FIND OUT. Which is the best thing to say about a cliffhanger.
You make me so interested in every detail of the worlds you write about. Everything seems important--but not in a ponderous way, just in a very specific way. Like that house--I don't need to know who lived there and how they left, but I can feel that somebody lived there and that they had a story before they left. And that girl with one shoe--jesus, you pack a lot into a character who's showing them up the stairs.
And poor Cass. Dean too, but you really capture Cass's peculiar brand of hope in hopelessness. Like all this has to have meaning because he's given up so much for it. Talk about a crash course in being human. Which again I think is reflected in all the choices of details--some people when they write about stuff that's just, well, gross you feel like they're just trying to be edgy or gritty, but all the gritty details here are right and important, part of being human.
