PO-- one very intense exicution scene, and a few other's which might bother those with good imaginations.

I ADORE french lit. I think this book is intense, well written and a great read. I have a hard time putting it down. It looks thick, but it goes so fast. Highly recommended.

One of my favorites.

My first classic read since college! (Oof.) I wanted to read this because I got a book in January that is a gender-swapped retelling of TCoMC, and I really liked it. There were parts that were so funny, and others that were so sad, and also really gratifying parts. I love a good revenge-fantasy, and although I would have liked a even more confrontation and comeuppance at the end, I'm glad I read this.
Also, Edmond Dantes is the OG Scheming Character. While I was reading the last half I kept thinking OHHHH so THIS is who Aelin and Kaz were emulating. Got it.

C+. The intro hooked me good, but it was just too long to keep me engaged over the entire plot.
