Monir starts off strong with a good story that pulled me in. I read it in two days, so that tells you something. Unfortunately, part two left me much less satisfied.
At 197 pages, this book would have benefited from the author taking more time with the last half of the story and fleshing out many of the characters, including Imogen, who we first meet when she is 10 years old. I didn't connect with her as a child or an adult and found her overall to be a very flat character. The ending clearly leaves open room for a sequel though, and I would give it a chance since there were many good gothic parts of this novel that I enjoyed.
I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchanged for an honest review.
