Wow what a monster of a book. Not one for the faint of heart, but it's definitely worth reading. There are some parts where it drags just a bit, but not enought to affect it being a solid 5/5. The characters were so well written that I came to empathize with both the main character and the villains at points. I do not regret all the time I spent reading this, it's definitely a great read!

If you like poetic justice, sarcasm, duels, murder (including a serial killer), intrigue, romance (yes, even a lesbian one), 19th century finance, and fainting aristocrats, this book is for you.

I loved it so much!

there is nothing I do better than revenge ~

so long, but so epic and more than worth the time. I took off 0.5 stars because it could have been a tad shorter and there were so many characters I got confused from time to time. Nevertheless, I was hooked on the drama, and there were also some great examples of how pride and greed can really fuck you up. Can't say much anything else without spoiling, but go find out yourself!

+ this doesn't really spoil anything, but Eugenie Danglars and Louise d'Armilly were lesbians in love and you can't change my mind :) <3

This is a book that is much celebrated and I would say it is a little overhyped. Basically a fantasy book with all the ridiculous things the count does and predicts will happen, and the only character I really liked was Mercedes. Just a bit too much melodrama for me, but still a very well written book  with a classic framework. I just wished I loved it like others did :/
