Eugénie real mvp here. Truly an icon. She lived up to Albert calling her Diana,
In the time the book was written I'm sure her character was not seen as positive but I don't care. All the other women are... something. Why am I analysing the women of this book? Because the men are all terrible and that's literally the point of the book lol. Mercedes has no personality whatsoever because she's supposed to be the faithful righteous selfless woman who's only interest is her son. Valentine's is more or less the same. Her relationship with her grandpa was cute. The way everyone treats the man is not. But what can I expect from a classical book? Not to be racist, misogynistic and ableist?
I would have liked the book more if the Count

I didn't think I would love this book, but here we are. This is a masterpiece. It's one big and rich adventure story with a set of fantastic characters. Some stories are heartwarming, others are sad, but there's a great balance of the two. This may be more than 1200 pages, but it didn't bore me for a second. It's a complex story filled with smaller stories and adventures, but every single page is wonderful. I won't stop talking about this book for a long time. It's just too good.
