introduction was going in circles about Ivanhoe being a romance and also a history; but also was insightful in preparing me for this read + loved the history of Scott as a person and his involvement in terms of publishing and printing. i would've soldiered on but 40 pages after, my mind is exhausted. nonetheless, i am excited!

gonna pause on this for a bit, similar to what i did with War and Peace, i'll pick it back up after several months. not because it's boring or what, but rather i miss my normal momentum and this takes a great patience to make it through 15 pages in 2 hours bc of the language and abundance of notes, of which i love but... as i said, i'll finish it in several months time.

i am in love with the writing so far, the way characters are introduced or places allowed to be expanded through descriptions; the jousting scene was top tier combat descriptions. Notes have also been in abundance and of great help to understand terms or quotes or etc with a nuanced perspective

my ass is so unprepared for the amount of referring to the dictionary and then the Notes embedded within. this is gonna take awhile to finish, but, i remain steadfast this is actually gonna be fun. granted, i lock in all the times of reading, as i have a habit to doze off and snooze for 10 minutes, then continue the other half.
