This was super interesting! I don’t know that I’ve read anything like this in a while. I tend not to like books with unreliable narrators because I get annoyed with all the potential truths/lies but Roos was really compelling, and not as unreliable as other characters might think.
The supernatural world/rules in this book were really interesting, and I liked that some of it was left to the imagination
overall a cool read that definitely understood the gothic assignment
