Titus Alone by Mervyn Peake

Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

I'm happy to leave things where they ended in Gormenghast. Titus was never a favorite of mine and I find him to be a poor main character this time. The writing has turned into a fever dream with none of the ridiculous charm or cohesion the previous books had. The lovely dusty world of Gormenghast has turned into an oddly sleek city with elevators and machines and cars. This doesn't feel anything like the first two and sadly it's not to my taste. 

And the names- to stray from gorgeous names like Prunesquallor and Flannelcat to uncreative ones like Mr. Thirst and Mrs. Grass was a disappointment.
