really liked it

An atmospheric Gothic horror novel that goes the extra mile with featuring women of color as the protagonists and incorporating race, colonialism, and eugenics as part of the horror. I enjoyed Noemi's flighty and outspoken nature as well; she’s easy to root for as she stands her own against the antagonists.

Sam I hope it’s heavier on the gothic than all the “race” elements. The other way around would be shallow and disappointing.
