Ravel felt a shifty stab of panic. Indigo had an inquisitive new hobby. He'd taken to chopping things into pieces and this was not, Ravel felt, quite sane. In a dilapidated mansion, Ravel and Indigo Kesby have gone to war. In this house, there's no such thing as brotherly love. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

And so the gaslighting begins.
This isn't my favorite of her books--the story is interrupted with other bits of story, of research, of news items, all of which make sense thematically (especially as the brothers are in the habit of reading off interesting stories to each other) but in many cases they go on too long. The tone of many of these digressions doesn't fit the rest of the book, and yet it's easy to get caught up (or bogged down) in these little side trips scattered throughout.
I was also hoping to see more moral gray area between the twins, but instead we have a pretty clear hero and villain. As nice as it was to know who to root for, I'd have preferred a more sympathetic villain--or a less sympathetic hero.
Another of Hartnett's early works, this lacks the lyricism and sophistication of her more recent titles. That said, it's still an intriguing, darkly gothic thriller. Most (if not all) of Hartnett's books are labeled teen (or YA, a term that sounds clinical to my ears), but because they're paced in such a dreamy, almost plodding way, I don't think they have a lot of teen appeal. For adults, though, these are some amazing books. ( )
