A lot of mystery novels have a half dozen twists that come out of nowhere, but in God of the Woods every clue is present and makes sense once you have the reveal. I didn't guess the mystery at all but once it was on display I could see all the bread crumbs that let to it.
I highly recommend this novel.

I will say that I somehow loved the ending, and found it so beautiful, with such a light touch β odd after this book that felt so heavy-handed to me. It was absolutely not worth it for me but I somehow was still quite enchanted by it even as I was so ready to be done. So the writing is definitely remarkable in some way, even though for me this is not going to be a writer I return to again.
