4.0

This is actually a great story, even with all the morality and religious undertones, it is really well written, and I am really happy I had to read this for class. Will definitely check out more of the Fairie Quene later!

The style is amazing, how can someone write a long story in poem form, with the stanzas always the same, with both end-rhyme and alliteration? And it is also really good to see where some inspiration for contemporary books must have come from.

Only needed to read half of it for class, making my brain melt so I didnt finish it. Maybe an audiobook would be better?
