Liked the atmosphere and the characterization. Interesting seeing the dynamics between the characters unfold. If you like books with an unreliable main character/narrator, you might like it.

A great book, it only lost a quarter star because I probably wouldn't read it again due to how spooky it is! It's best read for the first time, I think.

Although there are some content warnings, Merricat (the main character) is a strange narrator, and so a lot of the usual content warnings are not as vivid as they might be in other books.mollykat3b621's review against another edition
