I liked this one at first. Through the first 60% I thought it was a 4 star. But the last 40% not so much. It was long and often repetitive and dull. And confusing because she was trying to make her magical stuff make sense, but it was just too vague and muddled.

I liked the gothic period feel of the first part quite a bit though. That makes me give it 3 stars. The romance was fun, the medical stuff was gross, the magical stuff was weird and creepy.

Then it tried to be more complicated and systematic, and it was just too much.
