phlegyas 's review for:

The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole
3.5
challenging mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

3.5/5

Superbly atmospheric descriptions, tense, solid characters, the only thing that steals from this gorgeous story is the hard to follow old language and the, frequently, too long passages. 

3.5/5
