On an isolated mountain, a stone labyrinth provides rough shelter for a band of mercenaries. At its core lies a centuries-old mystery. But in part two of The Boy in the Iron Box, no secret is safe. A concealed pit; an iron box, wrapped in chains; a statue of a boy. What unknowns await the anxious, disoriented team in this strange ruin? Night will tell. From Academy Award–winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes The Pit and the Box, part two of The Boy in the Iron Box, a blood-chilling series of short stories about an ancient secret that was never meant to be unleashed, featuring exclusive interior artwork. Each can be read or listened to in one breathless sitting.

Radimir is the only one with a brain and an idea that should have been executed! I really like how I can feel the eerie atmosphere that is being created. I’m very intrigued to see if they actually discover what this place is, why it’s there and why this boy was locked away. I like how all the characters are at risk, though I feel Avva should have known better but then again I do think he was a good portrayal of how greed can blind you into making dumb decisions.
I also dropped the audiobook, the narrator was just not my jam and think that really helped me enjoy this more.
we still out here world/story building and it’s going strong. it’s a classic concept done masterfully. (but it’s driving me up a wall that each chapter is a different book, like for why…)
