I read the Chinese version of this book and it is so captivating! Or it could just me fangirling over Lady Banica lol

Another Mothy novel that is not outstanding, but fun. Similarly to the Venomania novel the writing here is also a step up from the Story of Evil.
It's highlights are the dual unforgivable acts Banica Conchita commits alongside a very sympathetic portrayal of childhood abuse that made her who she is. Although the novel does stress demonic possession over character analysis and individual actions, I do love seeing how most of her values and beliefs become horribly twisted by the end while one or two don't change, resulting in a very complex character. It's so interesting to me to that despite everything, she refuses to atone to accept punishment and defies the narrative structure of every other Mothy story in order to never change, grow, or apologize. Even her literal defiance of heaven and hell and path to being an inter dimensional demon is a choice made out of love and self sacrifice though, which I thought was interesting.
I felt many of the side characters were not fleshed out very well or complex enough alongside Banica, but I guess it makes sense as the audience is supposed to be fairly far removed due to the frame narrative. However on the plus side, few things scare me these days, but the backstory about the Conchita mansion and Muzuri Conchita was truly haunting and horrifying, and very well done and suited the regional ghost story thing Mothy was going for.

This book was okay. I did really like the "story within a story" kind of narration. I think it added a lot to Mothy's literary style and peeked my curiosity. I also liked the character of Conchita. Unlike Venomania, she seemed very kind and caring and I felt a lot of sympathy for her.
Unfortunately, this is Mothy's novel which seems to derive most heavily from song. Lots of things seemed retconed (like the fact that cook in the mansion is also prince of Marlon, Banica's ex-fiance, her lover and other things I won't mention because I don't want to spoil). I was fully aware that such a short song is bound to keep something untold, but they are very glaring in novel.
In conclusion, I consider this book a good story, but not so good adaptation of song. In spite of this I thing this novel is written very nicely and I recommend reading it.
