Took me a month to finish. Very unnecessary mentions of pedophilia and incest.. 
and why the fuck is everyone named the same? It’s very hard to keep track of which of the 300 Aurelianos or Arcadios the story is about

It was absolutely beautiful; the ideas conveyed were extremely artistic, and while it was a somewhat slow read, it was completely worth the effort. Be warned, though, it is difficult keeping track of characters at first, and a lot happens in this book, but this complexity contributes significantly to the nature of the story.

An absolute slog. A lot of interesting ideas that are brought up over and over again, but never expanded upon.
