Morr_Books I do feel a bit less disturbed by this family, but I am getting the feeling like Agnes isn't happy here either. Thoughts? 2y
TheBookHippie @Morr_Books I had the same thoughts… 2y

Bookwormjillk Agnes is quiet quitting these kids. They‘re not treating her like she thinks they should so she‘s doing the bare minimum. 2y
Ruthiella @Morr_Books @TheBookHippie Same. Not as overly sadistic as the first family, but still quite selfish and dismissive. 2y
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk yes exactly!!! 2y
TheBookHippie @Ruthiella Agree. Seeing her as less than.. 2y
willaful I'm finding myself a bit dissatisfied with Agnes. There doesn't seem to be a lot to her. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books I totally agree! @willaful she definitely needs to grow a personality 2y
mcctrish Her arrival after that arduous journey was a complete non-event! And I totally agree @Bookwormjillk quiet quitting! 2y
julieclair @willaful I agree. I really want to like her and be supportive of her, but she keeps disappointing me. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I think she‘s doing what she can, which isn‘t much… but she also never advocates for her own needs whatsoever, and then resents that they ignore her needs, which is annoying. 2y
willaful @Clare-Dragonfly it's not so much her (unsurprising) passiveness, but the feeling that she's very bland, nothing there but virtuousness. However, the next chapter has some actual dialogue between her and one of her charges and I feel she's come more alive. I hope it continues. 2y
dabbe Yet the older daughter comes to like/accept/put up with her. There must be something to Agnes, right? Right? (edited) 2y
AnnR I think Agnes is consistent and maybe a good listener, even if her personality isn't terribly exciting. The parents probably aren't terribly interested in listening to their children's chit-chat. 2y
