Look, I'm not saying this was a bad story, because it wasn't, it just wasn't for me. I couldn't really connect with Marianne, and the whole side story with Margerite just also wasn't really my thing. It's still an objectively good story, I just really couldn't get into it, and it didn't grip me as mich as I expected it too.
