I just finished this “gothic horror” and am so frustrated. The premise is great, but I ended up skimming whole pages and paragraphs during what should’ve been some of the story’s main action because the writing was so (unnecessarily imo) overwrought. I feel like it could’ve been 100 pages shorter and been infinitely better for it.
I read it’s being adapted by M Night Shyamalan, and I honestly think it’ll make a much better movie than book (at least as is).

M Night Shyamalan’s DAUGHTER is directing it, actually. But yeah, I tried to read this book after seeing the trailer, which tbh looks decent, and got a couple chapters in and had to nope out because of the writing style. Couldn’t really tell you what’s wrong with it besides that it just felt kinda meandering or stuffy? Idk.
