It was so hard to get through this book. If I didn’t have the audiobook, I don’t think I would have. It’s slow and dry as really all classics are but also these characters are racist as heck! Holy moly!
I did enjoy that these kids came together as a found family and became well adjusted because they were spoiled brats in the beginning.
The only nice and likeable character in this book is Dickon.
