(Forgive how this reads because this was a voice text). I don't think the best of Anne and her writings. I don't think she is bad I just think she is so wordy that it makes the story boring. Also, the characters in this book are terrible. Or at least the main character is terrible. 
And the fact that he is in multiple books after this is kind of annoying. He does have problems like inappropriate relationships with younger people despite his geriatric age and in a previous novel, he body jumped into an Indian man who was much younger, and it's very weird because he's British and colonization jumps into my head.
