The great humour

The great humour

The descriptions of characters, settings, creatures and everything else are written so well, they create such vivid and eerie visualisations, and the story is so unique and exciting, I could barely put the book down because I was so desperate to find out what happens next.

Despite lacking much of a plot, the world building, character building and the dynamics between the ensemble are all so captivating that I couldn't tear myself away from this book. Such an incredible and magical piece of fiction.

Twelve Dancing Princesses meets The Haunting of Hill House meets H. P. Lovecraft. Dark and mysterious and gripping throughout, with both some adorable romantic and horrifically unsettling moments sprinkled in. I even found myself questioning my own sanity at times.

I can relate to how Pip and Estelle develop over time and are humbled/moulded by their life experiences.
