Yes
Obviously the pacing of gothic books is its own thing but if you anyone asked me if I thought what this book was going to be about, I would not have been able to guess no matter what. I think this is a book that succeeds at making you like a pretty unlikable MC (but it's really done by making everyone else in the story the most terrible people ever). The imagery was really well done and the callbacks to details were really good.
