Re-read
Continuing to reread books that should not have been picked up in adolescence, I came to this gothic-romantic classic. Unfortunately, this experience left me somewhat disappointed.
As a teenager, I was able to empathize with these heroes, at least on some level. As an adult, I saw an endless cycle of evil and violence that no one tried to stop. Like a great love story, all the couples lacked direct love.
Also, the reading process seemed very unpleasant and challenging due to the non-linearity of the plot, complex style, and unreliable narrators. In combination with everything, I leave this book on the shelf for the main characters of Twilight.
