Greatly exceeded my expectations. Adventurous and funny in all the right ways; this was the first book following baroque culture that I genuinely enjoyed. Plot points do get a touch repetitive.

This is me, screaming to the high heavens, about my good son, Henry Montague. I want him to have all the good things forever and ever more, even if he also happens to be the biggest fucking dumbass most of the time.

I like the broad representation in this book, and I like the way it’s written - it’s funny in a beautiful kind of way.
Other than that I found this book very underwhelming and a bit disappointing.
Mainly because the main character, Monty, is useless and very annoying.
