"That's how the history of Starling House feels to me now, like a story told so many times the truth is obscured, caught only in slantwise glimpses. Maybe that's how every history is."

This book has me in a choke hold! I'm only halfway through, and I have realized that I might need to read everything this author has ever written!!

This duology was quite entertaining. I know it's very popular and I liked it a lot but it didn't like blow my mind. I may need a break from the fantasy books if they're all starting to seem mediocre.

@Eggs (thanks for the tag! 😍)

1. I still can cry over BREAKING THE CHAIN: THE GUARD DOG STORY: a comic book by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of MUTTS. So poignant!
2. The tagged: THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO. #ugh I couldn't even get through this one with the #hashtagbrigade! That's really saying something! 🤣

Eggs Not familiar with either one ☝️ Thx for joining in 💖 1w

A nice creepy Gothic horror set in an alternate world that feels like Victorian England and where magic works. Utterly atmospheric

And I can't tell if girlcat Ellie really liked or really hated the cover.

Listening to book two of this duology was such a treat, I felt even more so than the first book. I was transported every time I listened, and I was so invested in these characters that I found myself anxious for them. I didn‘t want it to end but also wanted to know how it turned out. I liked how this one focused more on the whole cast of characters, and I loved the romance between two different characters this time around… ⬇️

jen_the_scribe The world building between both books was awe-inducing, and the characters extremely likable. The narrator did such a fantastic job which is crucial for me when it comes to audiobooks. I‘m sad it‘s over! 1w
