"Not enjoying this novel. Reads like a new writer. Good for her, honestly. Writing a book is hard. But everythibg is handled with a hammer, told not shown, and immaculate recognition (everyone has perfectly accurate hunches based on scant evidence or none at all). For being billed as gothic it is without the ambience I would hope for. Fewer plot points and more setting would have gone a long way." — Apr 15, 2026 01:22PM

“I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of the hunger for life that gnaws in us all.”
