- misogyny + sexism - every female character is created for the male gaze; EACH male character is obsessed with women and objectifies them
- i just didn't care that much about the plot
- to much romance

The criticisms that are thrown at romantic novels by female authors all apply here.
While the writing is poetic and evocative, the story lacks much meaning. Yet the author upholds the plot like it is the most sacred of texts. Maybe it was the audio I listened to with piano interludes that made it even more overdramatic.
Perhaps if you enjoy gloomy mellow drama you might enjoy this, but I don’t. I especially didn't like that the author describes women as sexual objects, plot devices, or the butt of jokes.
There are so many endings and epilogues, it was worst than the last Lord of the Rings.
