Although it was quite complex and multilayered I felt that it could've been shorter. Since it was incredibly long it was not as impactful as I hoped. Also I thought that the ending was just weird. After so much darkness and hopelessness

all is resolved with the power of love? What was that? Also the misogyny was quite awful especially during the part before the confession scene

dark funny inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

4.25

I found it really funny which I don't think I am supposed to... Raskolnikov is lowkey relatable in that he is about to faint at any moment in this book. There were also some really intense scenes which were *chef's kiss* and yeah... a lot of philosophical ideas about man and his superiority complex. Not as great as seeing my boi Raskolnikov on the verge of fainting every second but still interesting.
