Santo can certainly craft her words and is well-thought out in her writing, but Three Story House never really captured me. I struggled night after night to care about the characters. I prefer to read a story chronologically rather than skipping around in time. It's just too confusing for me and it gets to the point that I don't want to read on long enough to figure out "OK - she's this old now, has what I just read previously already happened to her or not?" I want to be able to read for relaxation and enjoyment and not have to think too much about what I'm reading.
