slow-paced
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I appreciated seeing the hardships a woman could have in the 17th century, but it did drag with how many troublesome adventures were included. We watch Moll Flanders constantly in danger during her thieving years, I think cutting the examples to a third or less would've still given the same effect, they felt very repetitive. An interesting read, just not super great.
