This was a solid story, but there were fewer gothic elements and more relationship drama (as opposed to character development) than I personally wanted. What put this firmly in three-star territory for me (liked it, finished it, would not necessarily recommend) was that the villain isn't someone we see very much of in the story. Was not shocked, because "Oh, that minor character. Huh." Still, it was fun.
