4.5
Absolutely loved this book. Easton is a really endearing main character and this is a delightfully creepy retelling of the Fall of the House of Usher. I keep thinking about Madeline and the rabbits and I feel myself shiver. I'm very excited for the sequel!
Moderate: Body horror, Chronic illness, Death, and Gore
Minor: Transphobia and War
Main character does not face transphobia on page, just alludes to experiencing it in the past. Book as a whole is very thoughtful on the characters own gender, and gender within the fictional culture
