All jokes aside, I wasn't expecting to cry while reading this book but dang, it got me in my feels. I was familiar enough with the plot due to seeing so many versions of it, including the most recent adaption, and while the adaptions are quite faithful, there was nuance that was omitted and I appreciated the journey of reading this to find those little bits.

I see why it’s such a classic, the world building is so in-depth and grand. I can’t put my finger on what I disliked though - I just found myself forcing myself to pick it up, and not particularly looking forward to it.
I’m glad I’ve finished it now, i was determined to get through it. Maybe I’ll try it again one day and will love it.
