This was such an eire and atmospheric read. Overall little happened save the last shock, but the whole story was laced with foreboding. I felt little joy in the “happy ending” given all that occurred leading up. While morose and slow paced, Comyns’s world was beautiful crafted and Bella’s story artfully told.
