This was a very quick read for me, which is a nice change from the bulkier historical fiction I’ve been reading lately. The author expertly created an eerie, ethereal feeling over the entire story that I found rather unsettling, which added to the overall appeal of the story. I ended with a lot of questions and wanting to join many more dots, so I’ll be curious to investigate fan theories and watch some adaptations of this work.

Was deadly bored/frustrated a good 90% of the time...

Ta książka jest po prostu wspaniała! Idealna dla tych, którzy lubią niejednoznaczne i niekoniecznie w pełni szczęśliwe zakończenia. Szybko się czyta, napisana pięknym językiem (i przetłumaczona cudownie). Ma niezwykły, tajemniczy klimat. Uważam, że zasługuje na więcej adaptacji.

I found it deeply boring. Well, maybe I’m just not into detective mystery.

En un inicio no entendía bien el fin de la historia. Empieza muy bien, y después sentí que se iba por las ramas. Pero después entendí. Entendí su simbolismo y significado. Es una gran oda a la liberación femenina. Muy recomendable.

What's harder, running a marathon, or getting through this book? Tough one.

EDIT: Okay honestly this gets a lot better each time I read it. From a literary perspective, mind you. It doesn’t get any less boring. Unless you put on gothic classical in the background and it elevates the whole experience to the level of bearable.
