This book was a hard one to get through! Not saying it was bad, its just a task. With all the old- fashioned language and such.
But the way the author wrote out the fall into sin of Ambrosio was amazing! The end was such a sickening feeling, I was kinda left a little speechless?
Though some parts felt slow to me- which kinda led to me feeling like pushing through the middle was a chore- It was still great, as I did read it in a day!
I was wondering when the whole incest part would, you know come up, the way it was revealed was crazy! But still, Fuck Ambrosio!, great character, bad person?< /spoiler>
