This book was entertaining for the most part but certain aspects of it left me kinda grossed out and confused.

This book is painfully heartbreaking and raw with its emotion and depiction of brutality and suffering. Being looked down upon and treated as an ornament rather than a human. The painful expression of trauma and grief and abuse and some self loath. despite all these she has beautifully woven an intricately passionate and tender story of love, loss, pain and memory with poetic prose and descriptive atmosphere, setting a wholly gothic masterpiece novel. a book i would reccomened to read once in your life for sure.

I like the vibes, but I think, that the ending was a bit rush. Like "do you remember this thing that talked about randomly 2 times? It's an important thing for the last 50 pages" but overall I like it and I enjoyed *spoilers ahead* that Marlinchen didn't forgiv Rose, and all (almost all) the abuser in the book died.*end of the spoilers* so yeah the ending is fine but the rest of the book was very enjoyable.
