And I thought Immalee's story was slow... "the lovers tale" is downright tedious and so far has no relevance to the story.

The Tale of Guzman was quite sensational and fun!

I ended up skimming through the disgustingly Orientalist scene where Melmoth shows Immalee the "horrors" of Hinduism and Islam. It literally just felt like religious propaganda. However, the subsequent scene portraying an inverted recreation of the Fall was cool.

I have just entered the Third Layer of nested stories. We have to go deeper.

So far it's living up to the moody gothic horror I was hoping for. The ominous character of Melmoth haunts every page.
