Brilliant Plot, Pity About the Pulse
It is a tragedy when a brilliant plot is wasted on characters with the emotional depth of a marble bust. While the rest of society is spiraling over immoral improprieties, Jasper and his lady remain frustratingly statuesque.
I’ve seen this family do better—Sebastian showed far more life in his story than Jasper shows here to the supposed "love of his life." The prose is intellectually lofty but grows dry and repetitive, failing to realize that a meeting of the minds should ignite a fire, not a deep freeze.
The story provides a sturdy scaffolding, but I found myself longing for a hero who didn't require a pulse check.
