The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne

dark mysterious slow-paced

• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No

2.75

I loved the scarlet letter, but thought this one was honestly boring aside from a few really good scenes. The ending was underwhelming, the story dragged out in uninteresting ways, and some of the character descriptions just threw me off. I’m sure this book is someone’s cup of tea, and I’m glad I’ve read it just to check it off my list, but I have no interest in ever re-reading it
