Honestly, it feels like the consequences of Philippe’s death aren’t really addressed. (Note for all of this that I read de Mattos). 

Erik kidnapping Christine is what prompted the Daroga to go on the offensive with Raoul. Christine still pities Erik and forgives him after everything, knowing he killed Raoul’s brother in cold blood. Like, I’m not saying that she shouldn’t have had sympathy for him or that he’s beyond redemption (I mean, that’s the point of the novel), but Christine can’t forgive him for what he did to Philippe. Only Raoul (or his sisters) can do that, and he doesn’t get the chance. 

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems weird that we get no indication of Raoul’s reaction, and I really want to see that. Losing a sibling is the most devastating thing I can possibly imagine. He must have only found out what happened after he and Christine were out of the cellar and Erik was long-gone, because there’s no way he’d just peacefully leave without doing anything to the person who killed his brother. 

I get that Raoul’s not the protagonist, but he’s still a major character, and at the end of the story one of the worst things that can happen to a person happens to him, and there’s no explanation of how he reacts.

Thanks for the ask, @soyrabbit! 😘

I’m a blood donor and have given 3.5 gallons (28 pints) so far 💉

The farthest I’ve ever traveled was around 7,000 miles from Ohio to Abu Dhabi (a friend and I went to visit a mutual friend who lived/worked there for a few years) ✈️🌍

When I was a kid, for some reason I really loved those little paper cups they have at fast food restaurants for condiments. Whenever I saw them, I would sneak a few to take them home and hoard in my nest along with other cute, tiny things that were basically trash 🤷‍♀️😂

1. coffee mugs, teacups, wine glasses, water bottles, or soda cans? Depends on the purpose? I’ve started collecting coffee mugs from my favorite local haunts, teacups are my favorite in terms of aesthetics, and my water bottle gets more use than any of the above.

18. ideal weather? answered! 

61. favorite line you heard from a book/movie/tv show/etc.? I can’t narrow it down to a single favorite, or even ten, so here’s a random one: “I’ve had this pain. To tell you it will go away would be a lie. It will never go away. But, if you live long enough, it will cease to torture and will instead flavor you. As we rely on the bitterness of strong tea to wake us, this too will become something you can use.” -Eli Brown, Cinnamon and Gunpowder

62. seven characters you relate to? Elizabeth Bennett, Hermione Granger, the Persian, Beth March, Molly Hooper, Eliza Esposito, Pam Beesly

Wait, what?? You are all the same person? I had no idea 🤣 Thank you so much!! I had a fantastic day, will share some photos later of the incredible books I scored on a massive road trip I took with my husband.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Plz have a wonderful day, and as much chocolate, wine, and flowers (and sleep!) as you deserve 🙌 🙌
