Both Hilda and Dunstan are damaged people, and it appears right from the outset that their father is probably a lot to blame for that damage. The question marks over his past, and their mother's death are only part of the struggle for these siblings, although Dunstan is obviously designed to be a lot less sympathetic than Hilda - who is sort of plucky classically slightly batty cat lady to start out with, becoming increasingly interesting as she takes to her quest.
The very formal style and slightly stilted delivery caused some engagement issues for this reader, although overall YOU YET SHALL DIE does explore some really interesting ideas - delving into people's pasts, finding out the truth about parents, the fall out from poor parenting into adulthood and the difference that taking ownership of your own destiny can make in somebody's life.
