This book was not for me. While I usually enjoy a gothic literary read, this book was too long and slow. I found there were times I would zone out while reading but I didn't need to go back and re-read the part I missed because it wasn't important anyway. There are a few stand out moments that had me engaged and kept me reading, but the book would have been better if it was about a 100 pages shorter. I also can't even remember the ending and I just finished it two days ago.
