the design & illustrations in this book are amazing, as well as the connection to mary mclane's biography. while the story took some time for me to get into, i loved it in retrospect!! its a modern book that truly carries gothic novel qualities, which i enjoyed tremendously...also loved the aspect of a story-in a story-in a story!  triggerwarning: don't read if ur afraid of yellowjackes ;)
