I almost dnf'ed this about 3 times but wanted to see if it got better in the second half. Unfortunately it was not what I had hoped. There was no tension or sense of emergency where it should have been. Those parts read the same as the rest of the book and I never felt invested.

Yeah it's time to stop this one. I've spent the last couple of days trying to convince myself that I'm enjoying reading this, and the reason that I'm reading so slow is the seasonal depression. But honestly I'm so bored with this book. I enjoyed the first like 50 something pages, but I feel like the story never picks up like I was expecting it to do. I'm so disappointed. I was really looking forward to reading this book. I think the main issue I have with the book is that my expectations don't match what's actually happening in the book or the vibe.
I found the book under the gothic tag, so I expected something spooky with loads of tension. A book where I'd read faster and faster because I had to see the ending for some sort of satisfying revenge or release. But this book is so slow. Whatever anger Haelewise feel she just pushes away or she forgives the person. I want her to be angry and do just a little to confront the people who're treated her badly or not giving her any of the information she needs. But I got nothing.
