Bluebeard's Castle by Anna Biller

4.0

This is a rewarding read for fans of the genre. I was surprised how often other iconic books were mentioned by name, but it makes sense given Judith's work as a writer and luckily i had done enough homework to appreciate the references! It gave me a deeper appreciation for those books as well.. judith is also a great character to follow her progress (and regressions) through the book. Anna Biller also said that there is a dark twist, at which point it can no longer be reasonably considered a romance, but i found there to be so many developments that im not sure which she was referring to. There are also many imaginative motifs that caught my attention throughout the book and added a layer of mysticality & significance. My only regret is that the writing was simple enough for me to finish the book in barely 24 hours.
