First of all, I would like to preface this review by saying that this is not intended to be a negative comment. I wish that Amazon had half stars, I would have given this a 3.5. This is a good book and a longer book than most I find for Kindle, so it was nice to read over a weekend when I wasn't feeling particularly great. I love this author's writing style, and the way the characters pop from the pages and come alive. I was impressed with the plot and the way the story had a natural development. The characters don't repeat the same gestures a million times per chapter and every chapter contained something a bit unexpected.I did feel there were portions of this book that were a bit wordy and there were some places in the book where the author chose the wrong form of a word. Thankfully, these were not terribly distracting and didn't pull me from the story much. I appreciate that this is a longer book and must have taken a lot of effort to prepare for publishing.There are some fantastic quotes and descriptions in this novel, and it has a slightly Gothic feel, which I also enjoyed. I would recommend this book to other readers. This is a unique book that could fit into a variety of different genres. If you are looking for something to read that is highly original and has a little bit of a different feel to it, this would be a good book to choose.
