Fun YA book - bought for my granddaughter but had to read it first! (

This was not what I was expecting so I feel tad disappointed. I don't think 'an Ethiopian-inspired fantasy retelling of Jane Eyre' is a very accurate description of this book. I would have loved that book! It was yearny relationship heavy with quite an unlikeable 'Rochester' and instalove. Seriously guys, I thought I had accidentally skipped ahead in the audiobook because for me the romance came totally out of the blue. The horror parts were kind of intense in terms of their speed and ferocity but then they abruptly stopped and we were back in the love angst again. There are lots of positive reviews so this must be a case of not for me. (

Evil eye, curses, a ghost librarian who throws books at the protagonist, who could ask for anything more. While I don’t believe this is a true retelling of Jane Eyre, it has elements from the book: gothic castle, love for your employer, etc. This was definitely a different type of story, one that was a slow burn, building up to a fiery ending. A story that showed that you don’t have to be bound by blood to love someone. (

I liked the spooky stuff very, very much. There was a cool, creepy system to learn about. I did not find the romance at all compelling. (

The horror stuff was cool, but holy cow both of the love interests were so immature. (

Sweltering heat hit me like the sudden leap of a bonfire when I traded the protection of the mule-drawn cart’s tarp for burning sand.
