"her being seemed composed of shadow, with too little substance for it to possess sex" ok so we are certainly off to a start

made it out of the introduction 🎉 the translator is funny, the intro was basically just "victor hugo is an elegantly poetic writer, except when he goes on 50 chapter rants about something completely irrelevant to the plot, which i regrettably do have to abridge otherwise people would burn their copies of the book out of frustration halfway through"
