mcctrish In the words of me “WTF?!” 4h

Clare-Dragonfly So, just like with Ludo, we get the Count‘s POV when nothing interesting is going on, and then something happens and we don‘t get to know anything about it. 🤨 3h

TheAromaofBooks Someone needs to rewrite this book except with the interesting parts actually IN THE STORY 🙄 3h

Clare-Dragonfly Kind of unsatisfying that Emily doesn‘t have to do anything to get her inheritance… 1d

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly right? All that paperwork with Macaroni for nothing. 1d

peanutnine I feel like most everything in this book has been a ton of anticipation and buildup with no satisfying pay out @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk 1d

mcctrish @peanutnine absolutely so many words and nothing happens besides crying, fainting and things that can‘t be talked about 1d

Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine Yup. That‘s why I‘m not expecting any exciting ghost reveal with Ludo. 1d

mcctrish So much crying! Now the count is crying. #cryingiscontagious and I swear that nun swished her skirts as she went off to pray 2d

See All 7 Comments

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish there was some skirt swishing for sure 2d

Clare-Dragonfly The count is so fatherly to Emily! Throwing his buddy Du Pont at her just like her real dad did with Valancourt. 🙄 And pretty condescending to boot. 2d

TheAromaofBooks I just thought it was hilarious that after all the times Ludo locked up Annette in a room, he finally got himself locked up for a change of pace 😂 I'm worried about him, though, because despite his room-locking tendencies, he's actually one of my favorite characters! 2d

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣 so true! I like him too though 1d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks for real! Like he was just a footnote 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6d

mcctrish That‘s was so much blather for nothing 6d

Bookwormjillk This is the kind of chapter that really makes me not like this book. Emily is about to get to the bottom of things but oh wait there‘s music 🙄 6d

Clare-Dragonfly All the hints about Emily looking like the marchioness! But she couldn‘t exactly have a secret kid, could she?! 6d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought at first, until they started talking about her face turning black 🤮 so bizarre 6d

AllDebooks Anyone else losing count of all the Counts? 😅 6d

Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead I thought the same thing!!! 6d

mcctrish @AllDebooks too many counts to count (edited) 4d

AllDebooks @mcctrish far too many 😅 4d

Bookwormjillk Blissfully short chapter. I really hope this isn‘t winding up to a Jane Eyre ending. 1w

eeclayton #blessed Good riddance V! 1w

TheAromaofBooks I just want Emily to be able to go back and home and live out her days in peace and solitude, but I think she's going to end up saddled with one of these losers for life 😂 1w

julieclair I‘m proud of her for kicking V to the curb. I didn‘t think she had it in her. 1w

Bklover @julieclair Neither did I! @TheAromaofBooks Don‘t you think she‘d be thrilled to just go home and find Theresa(isn‘t that her name?) and the two of them could hang out and she could write poetry all day! 1w

TheAromaofBooks @Bklover - Yes!! And have a little dog?? (I just realized - what happened to the dog?? Did I miss its tragic end, or it did it just fade out of the story??) 7d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks that poor dog poof 💨 disappears it seems. Abandoned. 7d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I totally forgot about the dog! 🤔 7d

mcctrish What just happened? V admits to the debts he could never repay and that he isn‘t worthy of Emily AND is mad that she doesn‘t want to shackle herself to him?! He questions how long the count has been her friend? Meanwhile E has spent about 32 minutes in his actual company and expects her to marry him after whoring and gambling ? RUN AWAY EMILY 1w

Bklover @mcctrish yes! When I think of all the weeping and fainting over V it makes me want to scream. You are right- she doesn‘t even really know him! 1w

mcctrish It‘s nice she had him to focus on while at Udolpho but cut him loose now 1w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bklover #accurate 1w

Bookwormjillk At first I was kind of on V's side because yeah she just met this Count guy. But then he admitted to it all so bye V. And what is the story of the picture? 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk everyone is crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I meant the one that Emily's dad had that Dorethee was refusing to talk about. She is just not coming back? 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ohhhhhhhh that picture! We may never know…. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly V keeps going “I‘m terrible and it‘s exactly like the Count says” except no one actually lays out what Emily or V is thinking. I‘d put money on V‘s actual actions not being as bad as what Emily thinks. Of course, I don‘t know whether he‘ll actually TELL HER that before they both die of old age! 1w

julieclair If we don‘t find out about the picture, I‘m going to go nuts. I‘m warming up my book-throwing arm… 1w

AllDebooks If this was published now, it would be a novella once a skilled editor got busy with their red pen 1w

peanutnine "God forbid anyone tells a story immediately" ??? so true. And all these hints to what she saw in the letter, just tell us!!! 1w

Clare-Dragonfly Why the HECK can‘t Emily just say “oh that picture? It was my dad‘s.” It‘s not like she has any more information than that! 1w

TheAromaofBooks Oh man, now I just don't know who Emily is going to marry! All her choices are terrible! I'm kind of leaning towards Henri; at least he hasn't been a stalker yet 😂 1w

Bookwormjillk On one hand this chapter was frustrating because of the non-storytelling but on the other hand at least the picture came back up and V is finally here. On to part 4! #WeAreGettingThere 1w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I was so worried we would never find out 🤣 2w

Bookwormjillk I'm just so glad Emily appeared and we didn't have a whole new castle story. 2w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk that would have been devastating 🤣 2w

mcctrish It really could have gone either way at this point 2w

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk aaaarrrgggh, can you imagine?? 🫣😱 2w

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks yes I actually can that‘s why I was worried 😂 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m relieved that we made it back to this castle. I spent like 14 chapters wondering when Emily was going to figure out that Udolpho was the creepy castle she saw before. Then I realized it was in Italy so it must be a different castle, and I wondered why they spent so much time being aware of that creepy castle! I also realized that the convent Blanche lived in must be a different one. I think Radcliffe has too many settings! 🙄 2w
