adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

It started off slow for me and unfortunately, I got Eleanor and Adelaide confused several times. 

But once I got to the middle then it picked up. I think the last quarter of the book with the preacher was the worst because he was an odious character. 

Anyway, I recently discovered that there is another book. So, I guess I will check it out and read it.
