Plot
Loveable characters:

I don’t know who decided to call this a “retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo” but that was a huge blunder imo. It set my expectations for a wildly different story and is a big part of what left me so disappointed. The writing isn’t great (literally every thought/emotion is so over worked with double, triple explanations) and lots of moments that could have been built to naturally build characters/relationships are skipped over (like the “road trip” to the city being completely skimmed over). The whole thing felt very ham-fisted.
Tbh probably would have given it 3 stars without the “Count of Monte Cristo” blunder because the author does a good job painting pictures of the wardrobe and food and knives and culture that is really lovely. But I just was so dang disappointed.
