I think that Roxana is a super interesting character and the way that she continue to justify the very lifestyle that she abhors is a really interesting development to read about. The one downfall of this novel I found was the writing. Every paragraph just felt like a run-on sentence separated by semicolons. While this might be a charming trait of the original text, it started to grate on my nerves and made certain passages difficult to read and understand, especially the descriptive parts of the novel.
