Ohhh boy was that a lot. Yikes. It was so good, super engaging and really going for it with the gothic vibes, which was very aesthetically satisfying. The ending took everything up like 1,000 levels, was pretty gross, and has probably left me with some kind of reader's PTSD, but hey, it made for a striking novel. Still five stars overall
