definitely difficult for me to get through. I initially picked it up because I am obsessed with Ben Barnes and I’m very excited to watch the movie after this. I struggled reading despite the book being only 200 pages as the words and sentence structures were old-timey convoluted and the ideas themselves were very abstract. I am glad to have read a classic but it was quite draining
