i feel like the title is a bit dramatic for the story. it makes sense of course, but i feel like there should have been another title used for it.
this book is slow and may feel boring at times. it's interesting to see how the story progresses. i am personally not a huge fan of this style. i sort of liked the read. i wanted a more dramatic story, but thats my cup of tea.
i like the time period where this is in because I get to read what it feels like during this time.
i find it unsettling about the characters that Richard encounters and becomes friends with. I think Charles and Henry make me the most unsettling, especially near the end.
overall i had a bit of higher expectations because of the popularity. i understand the mixed reviews now!
