Such a hard read (yes I still gave it 5 stars)... The main character (Coriolanous Snow) is way too insufferable! But written sooo good. His character is so interesting. I normally love spending time on analysing characters, and being in Snow's head and watching his descent is such a great experience. It's just draining to be there for long When you get tired of being in his head try to focus on side characters more and ignore him as much as possible. I highly recommend admiring Sejanus' character even when he's not mentioned, he lightens the mood because he's such a cute righteous cutie patotie🍪🤍 Last 3 chapters or so turned what could've been a 3 stars into 5 soo fast.
