I'm rather loving the story, but the language is making reading a bit of a chore. Especially once the dialogue started, it really makes it harder.

The story is carried forward by the exquisite descriptions of emotions, urges, fears, drives, etc. The characters are solidly presented. My only issue, as is always the case with writings of that era, is the convoluted format of sentences that are too long andade of smaller intermixed sentences. The archaic language also makes it harder to read at any sort of pace.
