I really enjoyed this. I've been in the mood for gothic lit lately, and this was a fun re-entry into the genre. The pacing was decidedly slow - the plot didn't really start building toward the climax until 2/3 of the way through - but I flew through it nonetheless. 

This was my second book by Moreno-Garcia (in a row) and I think my takeaway is that her prose and dialogue feel awkward or flat to me most of the time, but she is an engaging and clever storyteller. Based on my preferences I'm not sure her works will break into my favourites, but I'll definitely give anything she writes a try. 

It's going to take me a while to forget about that ending. It was riveting and nauseating. Check the content warnings for sure.
