This book really delivered everything I wanted it to be. Although I found it a bit difficult to get into at first, it perfectly balances the hedonistic language and indulgently long sentences with sudden bursts of gothic that drove the plot. At points it read more like a script than prose but for me that helped the pace of the novel and added contrast to the chapters of pure description. I would recommend it for the symbolism alone but also if you like a morally corrupt character because this book does it so well.

so I finally finished this masterpiece. The reasons why i didn't give it five stars was because of chapter 11. It was 20 pages long chapter filled with too many cultural references that I didn't care about. like...how in the world will I remember or shall I say WHY DO I EVEN CARE about the types of jewels worn by someone or the type of clothes they wore and stuff. I know the author had a reason to give so many references...but he could have shorten it and used some references as an example and proved his point
I apologise but I am a very impatient person when I see long ass paras with no breaks, I keep on checking when a chapter gonna end just because I come across such big paras with so many names and things to remember and it makes me nauseous.
this is just my opinion
