This felt very much like a historical version of Nightbitch and I think for the same reasons I did not enjoy it a lot.

A woman rebelling against misogynistic society is great but in the end it felt vaguely nonseniscal in the message it was portraying.

The writing was beautiful but it felt a little lacking in the horror build up. There were a few moments were the atmosphere got a little eerie but it fizzled out quickly.

I would highly recommend this one if you like Nightbitch though.

I suspect that some of the occurrences and themes in this excellent novel are metaphors for something I am to simple or inexperienced to understand. That said, I loved the book and all but devoured the second half. Highly recommended.
