Was the twist worth it? Mostly. Was it a little slow and repetitive? A little. But was it still a solid ride? Yes.
More Mexican Gothic, less House of Hollow. Probably predictable for other readers, but I like being caught up in the ride. Had GORGEOUS lyrical writing and some lines I underlined in pen.
