Amanda’s Reviews > The Mysteries of Udolpho > Status Update

These final chapters are really enjoyable, and actually move and surprise me. The atmosphere definitely peaks here, as Emily looks back on her adventures and is truly forlorn

Parts of Emily's stay at Udolpho were pretty dull, and I couldn't even really say what she was doing day to day, but at least there were fewer poems. Volume 4 is getting really interesting now, as we're teased with the loose ends of the three key mysteries she's encountered. Valancourt is a whiny, weakly motivated 'nice' guy. The atmosphere of the north wing is genuinely spooky! Best part!
