I really don’t know what happened here. On paper, this should get a much higher rating from me, but oh my god, this was such a slog. It took me over 2 months to finish, I did not care for the characters at all, I did not care about the petty greed for fame and glory, and their relationship fell completely flat for me. I am upset.
