I wasn’t too much of a fan of Renard throughout the book, but the plot and especially Antonia really shine through in that regard.
The writing style is definitely one that my incompetent English Professor would describe as “baroque”, which fits the period and creates a more regal and distant scenery than what other novels in this genre prefer using. That said, it took me some time to get truly invested in the story, about forty-five percent of the way.
It’s worth it, however.
