Ugh, what a drag. In the beginning I was already considering a reread when I had more time to sit and sort out all the 19th century trappings but then came the mysogyny and antisemitism.
It had moments of being profane but overall was rather dull and the writing overly flowery.
Wanted to DNF several times but wanted to read it before reading Charming Devil by Rebecca Kenney.
