So historically accurate its hard to believe it was written in the mid 20th century and not at the beginning of the 19th. The author provides little context to understand what is going on, making it a challenging read, and that, combined with the slow pace, made it hard to get invested. It wasn't an unpleasant read, didn't have me eager for the end, but I also have no interest in rereading it or continuing the series.
