We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

dark mysterious reflective tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

the sort of detatched, surreal style this book is in lends itself greatly to the story, i do think it dragged a little at points and i guessed what i'm assuming was supposed to be a pretty big twist very early on in the book but honestly i didn't dislike it, very much worth a read for enjoyers of slow-paced spooky shit
