Well, it was quite a long ride. At several points I had to force myself to grind through, only managing to read a page a day, because it was getting exhaustingly boring, but thankfully it was getting better. Only to plummet again, and then get better again, and this rhythm continued until the very end.
The use of black metalists as deranged fanatics is a bit cliche, but understandable, I guess. But definitely did not expect them to make an appearance.
