I was left wondering if the only reason for Constance doting on her little sister is because she is terrified of displeasing her? Merricat often has an inner dialogue of “if people don’t bow down to her they will die”

The main attraction of this book is, of course, Merricat herself, and I found the most tense part of the novel to be Charles’s visit. I quickly found myself
The progression is driven by the characters’ interactions, but after
I think I enjoy stories with a stronger plot, or at least, more significant consequences for the characters’ actions. The ending had me feeling a bit that all the lead-up had been pointless, but maybe I was expecting something else out of this story. Regardless, it’s a short book, and it was fun to live in the mind of Merricat Blackwood for a while. I only hope I can take some of her magic with me.
