I understand why this is considered a masterpiece. I love that as I was reading I was like, "This can't possibly be relevant." And then I was wrong.
It was incredibly long, and intricate, and little things kept happening. It was like I could feel the book asking, "Are you paying attention? This is important."
Incredibly satisfying ending. Everything fell into place at exactly the right time. Devastating. Remarkable.
Dinged half a point for also being incredibly dense and kinda weird about Haydée, whether that's my modern bias or not.
