I've never read a book with so snarky a narrator. Other than that it just didn't hold my attention.

I loved the style in which this was written with the ‘God’ narrator. Each member of the family was complex and written the depth. Sometimes multiple POVs can be challenging and you find yourself skimming through some to her get back to your favourite however this was not the case. Each family member has as intriguing and exciting to read I found myself constantly changing who was my favourite.

House of usher meets succession with some magic thrown in.

Thank you NetGalley and macmillan audio for the audio arc opinions my own.
