I absolutely adored all the detail; I really lost myself in this book.
Spoiler Did I cry at the end? Yes. But it was a good cry and for me, the ending did feel satisfying.

Interesting premise. The story is pretty slow for the first 100 pages but it does pick up a bit afterwards. It has a couple of minor plotholes that become noticable by the end. I didn't mind the ending
SpoilerThe book part was probably its saving grace not gonna lie. Her big plan to outsmart Luc and beat him at his own game was a bit meh to me.

I don't know how I feel about the art and art history elements. They sometimes feel like they were just thrown in there as filler.
For a person who has lived for 300 years she has maintained a pretty limited worldview. I find it odd that after being alive for 3 centuries and all her talk of loving to read stories and learn as much about the world  as possible she has only learned some European languages and traveled to a handful of European countries and the US.
