Started out strong and then lost me
I guess I don't like gothic fantasy... Because there is nothing wrong with the story or the writing itself. In the end, the book was pretty boring to me. I also didn't appreciate the unnecessarily whiney and desperate tone the reader gave to opals voice (listened to the audiobook). But I loved the beginning! I was so curious about the house and the fact that it was a living thing. I wish the reader would get to know it better and the character of it would play a bigger role. The first half or so of the book has a couple of footnotes, which I imagine could be a little annoying if you read a physical copy. Would have probably DNF'd if not for the audiobook.
