3.5

the book is pretty slow to start since there’s a lot of world building that has to be done. but toward the middle i understood what we were working with and i find her detail to be very impressive. i really like the main character and how flawed she is. i wish there was more of darlington but it sounds like ill get that in the sequel. solid spooky fantasy!
