Ugh, this book. 

At times it felt like it was written by ChatGPT or something. I don't literally think it was, but there is some very strange use of language in here. Not strange in an interesting way, strange in an irritating way.

Also, Mina calls the parrot “the yellow one” for some reason? Very odd.

I did keep reading. I wanted to find out what happened, so I guess this book has that going for it. I ended up skimming large chunks of useless text to get to the end, and I was annoyed and bewildered the whole time. This could have been much better with an editor's heavy hand.
