There's this but in the second season of Twin Peaks, where the evil entity, BOB, has lept into a few different bodies and is generally causing havoc and upset throughout the town, so the sheriff and the gang are discussing the nature of this evil. Miguel Ferrer's character essentially looks down the camera and says "BOB is the evil that men do." And like while I appreciate that as a moment in a television show that seems to be one of the primary themes of the book -- isn't humanity nasty -- with very little elaboration. I'm not saying that every atorcity had to have narrative justification or have characters receive a cumuppence, but at some point it just starts feeling voyeuristic.
And aside from all of that I do truly love a "will someone rid me of this turbulent priest" moment and due to the historical setting this bad boy gets to have the original.

I had so many ups and downs with this dang book.
I hated Tom at first, but then he grew on me. William was THE WORST. He had me crashing out at some parts.
I really liked Philip, Ellen, Jack, and Aliena, but I think you're supposed to.
The whole book gave 'written by a man' vibes with all the descriptions of big(.)(.) women.
This book was also very long. I often found myself asking, "Are we done yet?" But then the author would throw in some new issue or development that I just HAD to hear more about. I really felt like I was on a journey when reading this. Following some characters through the majority of their lives and watching them climb, fall, fight, lose, love, and live was quite interesting.
Reading this made me realize how silly and shallow some of the other books I read are. Even if they are more fun.
I don't think I'd read this again, but I'm glad I got through it.
I wouldn't say this book is for everyone. It's long, slow, and quite boring in parts, but the historical drama theme was entertaining.
