So. This book. Hmm. I could have, would have, should have liked it better. I'm quite disappointed in myself for not. Perhaps if I had just blazed through it in two days like I did with The Scarlet Pimpernel I would have enjoyed it more. As it is, it took me the better part of 3 weeks to read. I'm still trying to figure out why. Was it that the first half mainly centered on Armand? Apparently, I have no tolerance for Armand. He's just so insufferably stupid. And that Percy was in prison (can you guess why he's there? Yeah. Armand.) being starved to death for most of it? It almost sorta kinda felt like nothing was happening. I don't know. I just don't know.

*sigh*

I think that if I had been able to read it quicker, I would have loved it. I dwelt too long on Armand.

Yes. That must be it.
