Domina by Barbara Wood

2.0

Ok, two things: I started reading this book wanting to like it but assuming I wouldn't. Maybe I'm just an immature American man, but it was too slow and boring for me. Second,I need to be fair and say I only read the prologue, which usually isn't very fair. But the thing is, having already read the summary blurbs and a few of the most positive reviews on Goodreads, I realized that the prologue told the entire story in microcosm. With a few additional sentences to properly introduce and conclude out, it could have been a passable, if uninspired, short story. So why spend hours reading an additional 400+ pages just to arrive at the same conclusion?
