A fungal house of Usher with the forlorn fading lady and suicidal maid, spiced up by a non-gender conforming solider.

This was so creepy, especially in the last half, I was so jumpy reading it. It was atmospheric, suspenseful, and grotesque. I also really enjoyed the MC and thought some of the secondary characters were quite quirky and charming

As I was reading, I had the sense that the story was somewhat familiar but I just couldn’t place it. Turns out it’s a reimagining of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of The House of Usher. I did immediately reread Poe’s short story after I finished to see what this author built off. It took a while for it to fully become interesting but I liked the ending, the realization of what’s happened to Madeline and the plan for Alex. Other than that, it was nothing great or noteworthy for me, just not bad at all. I’ll probably reread at some point though!

This is my second time reading this, first time reading the audiobook. 

Second time around the beginning felt a little slow, but I get that some world building had to happen until we could really get into the story. Once the plot picks up it really is great. Despite knowing the ending it was still a fun read. 

Didn’t love the narrator for the audiobook, but the accents were just a little off for me but overall really enjoyed the book!
