bookstorian's review
3.5
➕️ I was gripped and shocked at times but not as consistently as I would have liked. Perhaps because the book wasn't really a thriller as I was expecting.
➕️Enjoyed some of the post reading activities surrounding the book such as listening to podcasts, reading some interesting theories about the ending and discovering that it was inspired by Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein)
➖️Struggled between the timelines, amount of characters (two with the same name) and genres that were thrown in, some of these exerpts were unnecessary.
➖️The execution of the concept of how houses remember. It was an intriguing idea but I didn't really find the house to really remember.
➖️The genre seemed to be more adult fiction or mystery than thriller, mainly due to pacing. It also was trying to be gothic (place as character) but didn't achieve this in my opinion.
✍️ "... a legacy is both a gift and a curse". Pg192
