If 50% of the flowery language had been removed, I think this book would’ve been at least 30% shorter, something it would’ve benefited from.
I didn’t care about Walter’s love and only really got interested in the story after he left it. After that, I kept losing interest when things inevitably dragged on before a new plot point was introduced. Also, while the ending was more or less what I’d hoped for, I wasn’t exactly satisfied—maybe because it took too long to get there?
