DID NOT FINISH

---

Couldn’t get into it, didn’t finish. Will likely never pick it back up. Wasn’t my style, too slow and dark and weird, and I don’t have the patience or interest to see if I can start to like it.

A delightfully dark and clever book, that takes many staples of classic gothic novels and adds its own twists to it. Would make a very creepy film.

4.5/5* ⭐ loved this, but kind of a weak ending imo.
