This really has about as much depth as any random dimestore romance novel with Fabio on the cover, but the austerity it's done with makes it at least somewhat interesting in style.
The first two chapters feel like they ought to lead up to another five or so. In some way, it seems like it was supposed to have the same sense as a historical novel from the 18th century or so, but the plot action in the last part is so brisk as to just breeze past everything and just end in a plot-convenient manner. So no time is really spent with characters.
At least the sex scenes are pretty nice. It just feels like we got acts one and five of a five-act play.
