I honestly don’t see how anyone could rate this book highly. It’s just endless diatribes from a revolving door of characters who are alternatively identified by their full name, nickname, patronymic, and family name. So you not only have to remember who each character is, but also the 3-4 names that the author uses to refer to them.
Everyone is always at a 10. There are no levels to anyone’s emotions. Everything is a scandal. It’s just exhausting. I could not and would not recommend anyone read this book. But apparently I’m in the minority with that opinion. Good riddance to this book, I hope I never hear about it again
