Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

If you like gothic YA fantasy, then this book will definitely be right up your alley! Especially if you're an Austen fan, ast his one is inspired by Sense and Sensibility. Which I haven't read, but I still had a good time with this book! The beginning sets the tone for the book, and it definitely has fall/spooky season vibes. 

There are some twists throughout the book, keeping you on your toes while you're reading. The overall book felt a little longer than it needed to be, but the characters definitely keep the plot interesting. It's a good fantasy to pick up if you're looking for something this fall season!
