A slow read. Good book to try once. It’s an interesting story, just not too gripping for my personal taste. Can’t say I hate it.

I struggled to connect with the characters, but the cultural insights were invaluable. It’s a bit slow-paced for modern readers, but worth the effort.

Found it a bit dense and hard to follow. The abridgement helped, but I still felt lost sometimes. The historical context was interesting, though.
