The only reason I’d give it less than a perfect score is because the beginning was slow and at times the embellishing of words can weigh down the plot. But it truly captures “gothic,” the setting is lavish, the plot is interesting and the protagonists are heroic even if flawed. I thoroughly enjoyed.
Moderate: Child death, Genocide, and Racism
Minor: Rape and Vomit
