I personally struggled to enjoy this book for a few reasons.
First was due to the point of view. It couldn't seem to device if it was a 3rd person omniscient or 3rd person limited point of view. In tje same chapter we would go front bouncing from everyone's thoughts to just being limited to one person's perspective. It was odd and didn't flow well.
Because of this, it really struggled to create a main character. As soon as we started to learn more besides the main issue driving the character, we would be ejected into someone else. Any previously development would be forgotten as they'd only react to their surroundings.
I also struggled with the foreshadowing being a little too on the nose and just removing any tension you may feel by outright telling you what will happen.
I did enjoy the setting of The chateau, especially with its need to "feed" and sentience. I wish we had more information as to why it was like this instead of focusing on the many different ghosts that haunted it.
Overall, I just really struggled with the writing style.
