Another book I wept while reading.  Towards the end, there were times I got chills as the long term plotting and manipulations came to fruition.

I could write a loooong review about this tome, but to keep it short: 
95% of the time you’ll have a great time following the story and characters and then Dumas drops something like the Count wanting to….. his own adoptive daughter, that he has cared for since she was a literal child. - and you don’t know what to make of it.
That left a sour taste in my mouth and prevents me from rating it 5 stars.

There is just so much of this story that seems unnecessary. Who cares that he owned the winning horse that ne named after an acquaintance?
