I’ve skipped ahead to read the translated text of Pelagius’s work instead of musings on it by the author. And I found it far less convoluted to read.

Chapter 2 was a bit slow.

Just finished the 1st chapter, so far I’m intrigued by the premise & the potential fate of the twin sisters.

Finished! This book is okay, I don’t recommend it for anyone sensitive to the subject of sexual violence.

This is a book written with other theologians & academics in mind, & not much for the everyday person wanting to understand Pelagius better.

This is not an especially thick book, but it’s text is tiny so the seeming length is rather deceiving. It took me over an hour to read just some 20 pages thus far, so the text is rather dense.

The author speaks a lot about Pelagius’s opponents in chapter one & less on the man himself. I hope that changes.

Well…things have made a turn in a most unpleasant direction.

The romance has become very sweet at this point, despite a rough beginning.

The book is getting better.

The love interest is still sexist but is perhaps maybe learning to be better.

I’m 2 chapters into this book & so far am enjoying it. The prose are lovely & the protagonist spunky. But one thing I didn’t care for is her love interest laughing along with her getting sexually harassed by another man. Gross. I hope they’re won’t be more of that as I read.

Okay I’m starting to like the book now & see why it’s so well regarded.

Have to read more slowly to fully comprehend what I’m reading.
