Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand

dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

It's as if Elizabeth Hand wrote this with precisely my tastes in mind. I adored, ADOOOORED this book!!! Creepy old manor? Check. All the gothic vibes you could possibly want? Check. Following a band looking for inspiration? Check. Told in a non-traditional format? Check. 

I loved the ambiguity, the slight unreliability of our narrators, the lush writing. I could keep going but suffice to say I loved this book entirely and it found me at precisely the right moment where it was exactly 100% what I wanted. LOVED IT!
