challenging dark funny mysterious slow-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I oscillated from thinking Palliser was over ambitious and confused, to thinking him a genius while reading this, but ultimately settled on the latter. Worth sticking with it even when it parts feel impenetrable; it is all the richer for those bits!
