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.

Intrigue, adventure, escape, passion and planning are just a few words to describe this amazing story. Follow Edmond Dantes as he fights for life, freedom and revenge. Would recommend this book for this book for those who enjoy good a good game of mental chess.
