Midnight Rooms

This is a hard book to rate. Much of the prose is lovely and evocative, and early on I was very invested in Orabella's life, hoping she would find safety and happiness despite everything. That said, the middle part of the story was difficult to parse and felt incredibly repetitive. I can handle ambiguity and chaos in narration so long as enough things keep happening to hold my interest, but that wasn't really the case here.

The prose was pretty and promising enough that I will check out the author's future works, but this particular book just did not land for me.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
