"1.5//I didn’t find this one as readable as the previous installment. The Duke was so easy to consume, it was far easier to gloss over the more conservative aspects of the work. This one was not that. I did not find either Alice or Lucien compelling, and the constant comparing of Alice to her no good ***** of a sister in law (per the text), was gross. The way that women who followed their lust was so aggressively demonized that we killed two (!!!) women off who dared to enjoy themselves. Of course Caro was an awful mother, because a **** could never be a good mom! How dare we even think that? Of course she’s vain and insipid and stupid and so easily lead! She’s a *****! They’re just good for a lay and disposal. That’s so deeply gross. I also bristled at the way that Caro’s dark features were always second rate to Alice’s more aryan ones. Deeply strange! Even for the aughts! Creepy, in fact. Perhaps 1.5 stars is generous, however, I did have fun in parts. Regrettable."
