I believe in many way it's overwritten, but I am also a fan of overwritten emotions, they feel very specific and precise that way. The characters are very rounded and feel alive. There are a ton of ramblings from side-characters that I do not appreaciate even if they pull you more into the age this was written.

There are a ton of perspectives that are given weight that directly contradict themselves and that is the beauty of this book. Something you can't quite pin down, something haunting.
