I'll be honest. I don't think gothic genre is for me. I can tell this is excellently written, but I'm not at all hooked or interested in it. I'll finish reading it though.
Ok I finished. Spiritually I checked out at the 47 percent mark so I'm not sure what happened. Things. Things happened, in a very dreamy manner. Welp. No rating, personally.

The characters in this book - apart from Ore and Sade, who are genuinely great and trying their best - are extremely unpleasant people that it's hard to spend time with. The story drags on until the Ore portions in the second half of the book, and that story is about gradually degrading any sympathy you might initially have for the other characters. Most of the real plot happens in the last 50 pages or so and feels both rushed and unfinished. I spent large portions of my reading experience just inwardly shouting for characters to TALK TO EACH OTHER about what they're feeling and left disappointed and frustrated.
