Not in love with the convoluted language, random sprinkles of capital letters, or abundant digressions.

There are easily twice as many adjectives as necessary in this book: "The final course of our meal would invariably consist of the aforementioned Scholar recounting some notable episode from their illustrious career. Few of my peers lingered for this raconteurial repast - but my hunger for gripping descriptions of my mentor's travels could not be sated."
DNF imminent.

Too bad. I haven't liked either of the last two epistolary novels I've tried (the other being How to Lose the Time War).
