a really wonderful book - i couldn’t help but feel for all the characters, especially the creature himself!

a great story about morals versus laws set in place — only felt the ending could’ve been better if we saw antigone, eurydice, and haimon’s perspectives since it kind of took from the emotional aspect to have it just be like “uh oh! they killed themselves! awww!”

very very good when it came to the beautifully written characters like Natasha Rostova and Andrei Bolkonsky, but i did struggle a bit to keep up with Tolstoy’s occasional tangents…

genuinely one of the best books i’ve ever read — Tartt’s writing just pulls me in and flows so beautifully, and the characters are so well written and agh! i just can’t put it into words well enough. so so worth it.

so good! it’s so witty and funny but had so much emotional depth too — i especially enjoyed Viola’s character and her relationship with Orsino… so i do wish we got to see a bit of their married life.
