So I knew from reviews what to expect about a certain dynamic, so I wasn't totally caught off guard. I will agree that there is certainly someone to root for, and its harder to root for someone else. However, I think everyone kind of behaves badly in this one lol XD
Its a fun read, messy, gothic-light, and an utterly wild ending. I think it was attempting to do too much in one book; the ending half was MUCH more plotty and fast paced, and generally better. The beginning feels there to help set up characters and relationships but it also doesn't spend enough time on it!
I found myself editing in my head to make certain passages and descriptions more gothic, spookier, and well-- more descriptive. I think this book really lacked for atmosphere considering the plot and the inspiration.
Still worth a read I think, just don't expect a lush gothic romantasy.
