While I morally can’t give this book a good rating, I had so much fun reading it. Look, it’s compelling and engaging. Horrible material for sure………… fun to observe. Probably going to finish the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and was left feeling hallow at the end after the many twists and turns the book took.
I had trouble getting into the book, as it had a monotonous and stretched rhythm, mimicking the slow passing of time in the attic. However, after coming to terms with this slow crawl through the days, I was pulled into the pitiful and upsetting lives of these long neglected children.
I ended up really empathising with the characters and their plight. When they were betrayed I also felt that keenly. My anger towards certain characters was palpable.
An interesting and chilling read
