Verbose and lyrical. Twisty turny. What was the point? Young Indigo is a corrupted and manipulative person afraid to be alone who has the world at her fingertips. Young Azure is a scared girl looking for someone to love her. There were inconsistencies throughout, especially with the graduation timeline, as it would bend and morph like the house. Also, this is more mystery than fantasy. Overall, this was a gothic and atmospheric slog of a read.

dark emotional mysterious sad tense slow-paced

The book was fine but I just don’t think it’s my vibe. Really cool imagery and interesting plot but I feel I found out the twist a bit too early for my tastes and I’m usually gullible tbh. I think this sort of dark kind of horror type book just isn’t for me. I liked the use of stories/myths tho, but be warned that there are a lot of dark intense themes of abuse and just generally crappy ppl.
