A brief satisfying snack of a story. Too many novels contain a kernel of an idea that would be beautifully expressed in 100 pages but is stretched and made dull. Hache Pueyo story comes in at a little over 100 pages and its world building setting is so eerie—poppy fields, the tarantula as pets everywhere, the isolated and lavish mansion. It’s a lush gothic setting with Miss Anatema isn’t the only monstrous being around in the world, and they’re to be feared but respected. The setting is very claustrophobic with servants being raised into their positions and never leaving and staying on the floors they’re assigned to.
It’s a love story and for those of us who want love but feel we are too monstrous to love it's for them.
