The last 100ish pages has me absolutely fixed on that tulip. A very captivating and well-written book, absolutely earns my five stars.

Alexandre Dumas lowkey goated fr fr. Bro what’s gonna happen to the tulip I need to know 😭

Definitely a challenging read. Getting through the first couple chapters is a little rough what with the endless footnotes (two whole pages of notes for the first chapter— sheesh!) but after that it’s a pretty good book. The early plot progression is remarkably similar to The Count of Monte Cristo, albeit more violent. Interesting narration and very intellectual.
