booksny 's review for:

Ligeia by Edgar Allan Poe
3.0
dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I struggled with the wording - Poe's always quite verbose, but this felt exceptionally so. The spooky atmosphere is lovely; the main character is unsympathetic, alternating between putting his previous wife on a pedestal and loathing his next wife for being a different woman.
