The Golden Key by Marian Womack
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
I picked this one up since I didn't realize it was a prequel to On The Nature of Magic, which I had bought already. I thought I would love it, but I just can't finish it, and honestly don't even think I'll try the next one.
The story is boring and has way too much going on. It doesn't feel "Gothic" at all, and there are events, and whole chapters (involving Eliza) that don't make sense or seem to be relevant to the plot at all. I had to force myself to read the amount I did, thinking that maybe it would get better and be worth it so I could read book 2, but it's so bad that I may just sell book 2 back.
