• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

It's definitely a lot like Crimson Peak! I've never read the Secret Garden so I can't say much about that but I think it would appeal to fans of that as well.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Death

Moderate: Bullying, Child death, Violence

Multiple people within the story do die, and it is a bit graphicly detailed. Lots of mentions of people turning into ash and bone. The child death is described not in graphic detail but it is described.
