Review by gloris - Le Cid | The StoryGraph

2.5

French required reading just keeps getting worse

The rhythm of the verses are very fun!! And they flow well when you say the lines aloud, especially since it rhymes
If Chimène lowkey just made up her mind this play would be half as long
- Like the entirety of the book is her just being like omg I love Rodrigue!! But also I want him dead. GIRL STAND UP!!
- I must admit she was kinda annoying... mostly just because we never really got to hear much of her reasoning at all, other than just oh but I MUST!!
There are so many complex emotions going on that I was just waiting for it to be good, but it was factually extremely mid. Let me get into the nitty gritty!! Why am I being held at arm's length!! I want to KNOW these characters!! They could have been SO INTERESTING!!
Infante is my girl I think she deserves better because Rodrigue CANNOT be all that
- Seriously speaking if we focused on her feelings for the plot of the story it would've been so much more entertaining I must admit
