Edit on Jan. 14th/22:
Lol, someone was unmotivated! I've just started reading it again...the story is further in my mind now and I'm enjoying re-visiting it. :)
DNF at 16% for now
Let us be honest and realistic: this book is endless, a snooze-fest, and I have neither time nor inclination to read it right now .
It's not bad, it really isn't, but having seen the lovely series on Amazon Prime (which everyone should watch because it's lovely and sweet and touching), I already know what happens and am frankly quite bored trudging through the endless chapters to get to the good parts.
I think I will have a much better experience with Trollope if I try another novel of his at a better time. I was excited to read this one because I was so enthralled with the series, but...sigh. It's so long! There is so much description!
I'm just no longer motivated to read this, even though I know it's theoretically good.

I’m so sorry you didn’t enjoy Trollope- he’s not for everyone. Hope your next read is more enjoyable for you.
Thanks! I think if I try a book of his where I don't already know what happens, I might be more motivated to read on.
