jackson schreibt so ANDERS. ich liebe ihren schnellen schreibstil, die monologe von merricat waren so unterhaltsam. die perfekte gothische herbstlektüre (i ❤️ gothic literature)
Naja
Mehhhhh
Düsterer und Verwirrender Psychothriller Ich mochte den Vibe des Buches sehr gern - Düster und verwirrend mit vielen Metaphern. Man merkt schnell, dass Merricat eine sehr eigensinnige Sicht auf die Welt hat, was die Erzählweise des Buches schwer verständlich macht. Am Ende bin ich ehrlich gesagt immer noch nicht ganz sicher was alles nun wirklich passiert ist und warum, aber ich schätze das macht den Charme des Buches aus.
honestly, I have mixed feelings. The plot itself was intriguing, and I appreciated the way the story unfolded—but it took me forever to get through. It kind of dragged me into a reading slump, which was frustrating. Part of me wonders if it was because this was my first classic, so maybe I just wasn’t used to the pacing. Either way, the book felt really long, and I struggled to stay invested for a lot of it. But here’s the thing: by the last few pages, I finally understood why I had put in all that effort, and the ending did make some of the slow build worth it. Overall, I can’t fully recommend it unless you’re prepared for a slow, deliberate read. The story has merit, but the journey there felt a little exhausting at times.
