The Seance by John Harwood

1.0

Disappointing, very confusing (too many characters and timelines), and weird. Felt like author left a lot of threads unfinished, and ending was surprising because of how simple it was (Elinor ended up with Ada, her ONLY friend who obviously people/magnus who look suspiciously at??). Things that were finished unsatisfactorily were: Edward, her weird mother's obsession with her sister, Nell's mother's obsession with HER sister, the orphanage, etc. I think it could have been a lot better than it was. My favorite part was when they found the weird little bolthole with the shriveled corpse of the uncle. All heroines (and john montague) were very unlikable imo. Also weird romance at the end.
