Author is transgender and identifies as nonbinary, using they/them pronouns. Certain editions of their books use their deadname (like this one - StoryGraph has it right, but the physical copy was printed with the author’s deadname).starreddust's review against another edition

It took me until about a quarter of the way through the book to keep wanting to read and about 40% of the way through I really got into it and zoomed through. The book starts slow and a lot of stuff is kind of sprinkled throughout. It feels semi worth it in the end to me, but I still think the beginning was really rough.
I'd recommend this book if you like gothic stories and elements of fantasy. If you like Gillian Flynn books where everyone kind of sucks but there's still intrigue and enjoyment to get even from the characters that piss you off.
