An interesting story to say the least and I'm still not sure if I really liked it or not but I definitely enjoyed reading it and I wanted to finish it. It had some interesting themes and it was pretty gothic, especially in the setting and atmosphere which were enjoyable. I did find most of the characters to be a bit flat and couldn't really get attached to them. I found the same thing with some of the sub-plots that take place in the past timelines and I feel like they definitely needed more explaining. Also, whilst I enjoyed the perspectives and stories of the different characters/family members, I did find them a little disjointed from the main story. I did realise the 'twist' a little while before it came but I didn't really mind that. I'm still not sure if I thought the ending was great or rubbish as I really enjoyed certain elements of it and really disliked others.
