Rotherweird by Andrew Caldecott
4.0
Verdict: Most fun I've had reading in a good while. Might have to jump right into the sequel.
It would be useless to attempt a plot summary but I can confirm this is definitely the spiritual successor to Gormenghast. I've seen reviewers also cite Harry Potter and, while I can see why, I'm detecting stronger notes of Discworld. For all that, Rotherweird still manages to be utterly original. I didn't want it to end so I think it's off to Wyntertide for me.
