At first glance, I was excited to delve into this book. It's described as being hard-core, Gothic, and beautiful. The presentation of the book is absolutely gorgeous. The cover changes color in light, the spine has intricate artwork, and the pages themselves have a Gothic-type design. I was thrilled when I received in this my Uppercase box.
I wasn't so thrilled while I was reading it.
This book is super dense and nearly impossible to keep up with. Generally, the plot is confusing. This makes the plot twists exceedingly difficult to understand. I didn't really connect with the characters, so when things happened between them... I wasn't too shaken up about it. I'm not going to spoil the plot, but shit gets real in this book.
I know that much from context, but the plot was sort of all over the place. The settings weren't as developed as I would've liked and it didn't leave me wanting more after each chapter. I pushed through this book because I wanted it to get better. The idea of this book is five-star worthy, but the execution needed work.
There is going to be a second book. I will probably read it, hoping it's better than the first.
