Gothikana by RuNyx
5.0
fast-paced

I was utterly enchanted by Gothikana! This book is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, with a richly detailed world that drew me in from the very first page. The author's writing is lush and evocative, conjuring up the perfect blend of darkness, mystery, and romance.

The characters are complex and multidimensional, with a depth that made me care deeply about their fates. The plot twists and turns in unexpected ways, keeping me on the edge of my seat until the very end.

Gothikana is a must-read for fans of gothic fiction, fantasy, and romance. It's a book that will appeal to anyone who loves a good ghost story, a mysterious castle, or a tale of forbidden love.

Overall, I was completely swept up in this book's eerie and captivating world. I can't wait to see what the author does next!

Favorite quotes: 
“This will last until the day roses on my grave stop sharing roots with roses on yours, I will have you even in death, little witch. I am your beast. I am your madness. And you, you are my afterlife.”

“You are my mountain, my Vad. I don’t know how I understand why, but somehow, I’m building my castle on you.”

“Build your castle, Corvina, I’m not going anywhere. Build your castle as fucking high as you want.”

“You’re the mountain I build my castle on, brick by brick,” she whispered to him, her eyes stinging. “You stand, I soar. You crack, I crumble.”
