Fabulous writing and atmospheric storyline. Not convinced on the narrator despite his being very well known as an actor. Great characterisation

I've been meaning to read this for a long, long time and I liked it just as much as I thought I would. I love her writing style and the peculiarly Cornish bent to the gothic here, and with all the moody characters and stormy moors this was genuinely the closest I have ever gotten to recapturing the feeling of reading Wuthering Heights for the first time.

There were parts I really enjoyed reading. She does a nice job. I appreciate the whole, "It sucks to be a girl", thing, but also... He kissed me, I love him thing??? It was a good story though.

Lo sentí predecible, eso sí, es un buen libro de atmósfera y en momento me entretuve bastante, más por como se desarrollaría la trama para esos sucesos que ya me imaginaba que sucederían.
No es 5 estrellas, y tal ves sea un 3 estrellas, pero por la atmósfera y el entretenimiento que me dió le doy 4 :D.
