Slow paced, for the first 3/4 of the book it was boring, like it led to nowhere but as I started getting more progress I started liking the story and the characters more. Other than having horrible characters like rosamond (I tried to give her a chance multiple times, but the girl didn’t help), and James (stfu, who do you think you are. Why do you even think you have the damn right to make decisions on someone’s else behalf, she’s just your sister in law. F*ck off.)

Yea they pissed me way too much. The writing is amazing though. The way Eliot described and narrated the whole story and the meanings is incredible. And bro, the misogyny???? I get it, it’s the Victorian era, women weren’t even supposed to think for themselves, but come on…
