Review of 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
4.5/5
Okay that was a super creepy book. I love the way Merricat narrates the book, her tone and thoughts are just so wild and erratic and freaky. She is insightful and yet childish. I loved her relationship with her sister as well, they truly deserve peace from the outside world after everything they had been through.
And Charles, oh man. What a horrible person. He was a character made just so you can hate him, and hate him I did. So well done.
Overall I loved the book. It was very effective and creepy and lovely and just such a big bag of emotions.
