LMM’s writing is always beautiful, but I didn’t find the story or the characters compelling. The love interest grossed me out. I hate how he always referred to Kilmeny as a child and how he loved how “innocent” she was, and he even kept her out of school. It felt like he was grooming her, and that’s not romantic.
