iwi 's review for:

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
4.0

Okay so first off Nikolai is the main character and I know! ☝🏻 There is a secret deleted chapter of him having a midnight rendezvous with Alexander. He's so cute and silly ; _ ; he just wants to be with his boys, do some hunting! a little farming! Read his books!!  

That seeing Sonya in boy's clothes is the only time his heart starts racing around a girl. Sir

Sonya feeling more herself while dressed as a man 😭 I like to read her as not romantically inclined herself but I'm sure that's not the intent. In fact the author doesn't seem to think much of woman at all 😒

Nikolai should marry Sonya, but have Denisov come live with them. This is true in my heart--

Anyway my rambling aside, I did enjoy the book! I'm like is this Gossip Girl Neapoleonic War crossover au rn? I preferred the start of the book, where they were having more fun and being silly. Just society things and parties. 

Also Petya my dear!!! 😭 such a cute fellow. Alas. 

Basically I don't know what my thoughts are. I don't like Pierre and he unfortunately is The Main Character. 

What is the book? I don't even know. I feel like I can't recommend it to anyone because it's just idk rambling and no one really has any goals outside of vaguely getting married someday. Nothing interesting really happens. But I had so much fun all the same. 

The second epilogue is garbage though, that's just an essay what is it doing here!! 

Final thoughts. I think Nikolai should have kissed more boys.
