Lullaby for a Lost World
Ratings10
Average rating3.2
Charlotte died to shore up her master's house. Her bones grew into the foundation and pushed up through the walls, feeding his power and continuing the cycle. As time passes and the ones she loved fade away, the house and the master remain, and she yearns ever more deeply for vengeance.

Probably more of a 3.5.
As expected, the writing by Aliette is beautiful and haunting and very unapologetically horrifying. It was painful to read from the beginning, which slowly transformed to anger and then satifaction, but I'm still a little unsure of something that happened towards the end. However, it was too short for me to dwell on it too much and the story is vague enough to be immersive without feeling incomplete.
I'm not sure why but the master and the house reminded me so much of House Hawthorn and Asmodeus from the author's Dominion of the Fallen trilogy.
