eldane's review against another edition

I ran out of time, plus I wasn't really interested in reading a book in which the female protagonist is constantly taken advantage of by men. She has no spine, and any personality seems to vaporize any time a man comes near her. All she does is endure tragedy after tragedy, and then she dies. Woof.

lallen's review against another edition

The plot got so depressing for me. I had to go read a synopsis to decide if I could besr the rest of it out and I decided not- I was happy to know that eventually there was a happy end, but Tess had a rough enough life until this part happened!
