This book left me feeling .. complicated. I liked the premise. I liked the spooky gothic feel. I liked the main character at the start. By the end .. it felt to me like the strength of the writing devolved. It was oddly slow-paced, and the pages dragged. The ending was intriguing, but I felt like Jane did not stay true to character and I was feeling antsy from the slow middle section.
