Really loved this book despite its massive length, which shouldn’t stop one from reading it. Magnificent story. And much easier to read than an anticipated.

There's definitely a reason this is a classic! The first third(ish) of this book has so much going on it hooked me instantly. It slows down to become a political drama, but that was also a lot of fun (when I could keep all the characters and their multiple names straight

FINALLY FINISHED! It took me THREE MONTHS to read this book. I think the author has too many descriptors that take away from the story, but the story itself is fascinating. I can tell that the theme of revenge and redemption are going to stick with me for a long time.
