A review by nadiahzkr
Bane of Widuri by Nadiah Zakaria
Is it fair for the author to leave herself a review?
The idea behind this book had been in my notes for years, perhaps since 2019 if I’m not mistaken. What started off as a hanahaki disease-based plot turned into an orphanage filled with dark secrets. I drew so much inspiration from Tangled and The Promised Neverland in the process of outlining this story before sending it off to the publisher.
The design of the girls’ chambers was inspired by Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses! I loved their room so much, so I thought I’d use the same concept for my Widuri girls. As for the manor as a whole, I can’t help but imagine something like the Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor, but with only one floor. God bless Mike Flanagan
