Hm. I would say that the last 5% does not make worth slogging through the other 95% worth it, but it might be worth skipping directly to. I'm trying to think if there's anything that you would need to know to skip straight there, and I'm not sure.
Margaret Kemble was great!
I really like Bennett's work for the most part, and I think that one of his hallmarks is that his male characters and female characters are mostly completely independent from being male or female - that is, you can imagine swapping them out for the opposite sex without changing anything in the narrative other than pronouns.
Ohhhh I really like this, actually. Okay, yeah, I might have to check him out more.
Not having any romance is... actually right now it is a major plus (as I have to read straight-up romance for other reasons, and am finding that i don't really have a very high tolerance for it).
