What I loved
Caitlin Starling's prose and just the way she told this incredibly unsettling, bizarre novella, was excellent!  I loved the characters and how all of the little plot strings tied so well together in the end.  I was absolutely invested in everything that was happening. This is the type of gothic c horror I can get behind.

If you loved The Monster of Elendhaven, I highly recommend this one!
