I liked a lot of it but definitely some parts got bogged down in overly detailed and elaborate descriptions tho the writing was beautiful and very emotionally heavy but it was actually very funny in many parts and the revenge bits were really delicious and thematically hit super hard and it didn't leave me feeling miserable and nasty on their account but rather pleased and satisfied and I never thought we'd get a few lesbians so that was super fun and I really was pulling for mercedes and dantes to be together ALAS but I liked haydeé quite a lot honestly and I would have enjoyed this finale a lot more if they hadnt gotten together bc I didn't want dantes to die like I want the victim of a terrible injustice to live and be happy moving forward but not like THAT so it was a bit fucked up but everything else ended really nicely so yeah a great adventure novel for sure shame about the misogyny/orientalism/quasi-incest at the very end there
