If I’m being honest, this has been my least favorite of all of Jane’s works. But I guess there always has to be one 🤷♀️ To me, it just felt a bit boring, and I don’t think I can get over the ick of Fanny and Edmund’s relationship. Though I will say there were some fantastic symbolism—the gate and the chain stood out to me as very poetic! Overall, not my fav, but still gets a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the style and story.
