The ambience was immaculate. It had all the perfect tropes of the traditional gothic brought into modern writing. The characters were beautifully vivid. I only had two complaints: for someone so clever, Elspeth was deliberately obtuse about some things (though I guess fear does that); <also, for how often Hauth poked at Ravyn in public about his supposed secret, you’d think Hauth would have suspected when people who shouldn’t have known didn’t bat an eye.>
Graphic: Violence and Blood
Moderate: Gore
