We romanticize the stars, but forget the dark is what made them visible.
Just started Servant of the Bones. It’s on my list because whatever was on the back cover sounded interesting to me. I don’t remember it now, so I’m not sure what I’m in for. Anyway, 2 chapters in, I came across this part:
- chapter 2, Servant of the Bones
And yet, and yet, Lasher could NOT laugh! For some reason. Maybe that last sentence is the reason, I dunno.

Someone has probably asked this already, but, any Elizabeth headcanons?
YES! One of my headcanons is that Elizabeth is very subtly strategic about finding ways to get free time. She finds ways to make sure that every member of the household is occupied so that she can sneak off somewhere by herself for awhile. I like to tie this in with William's death. Elizabeth in my AU didn't just give him the locket, she had Justine take him outside to play when in reality Elizabeth was meant to be watching or tutoring him. In my AU that's why she has such a strong reaction and feels such personal guilt. Not just because she gave him the locket but because it was supposed to be her with him. She also believes that if she had been the one with him no one would even think entertain that Elizabeth was the killer. She's fully aware that the reason Justine ends up dead on flimsy circumstantial evidence is because her social status left her vulnerable. The Frankenstein's do not hire governesses so Elizabeth essentially had to play that role for both Ernest and William. I know in the book it says Victor takes over Ernest's studies but prior to that headcanon it was Elizabeth's job. My version of Elizabeth is always kind of worn thin but she tends to take on a lot of responsibility because she believes she HAS to be useful. As the outsider who has no wealth of her own she is completely dependent on the Frankensteins and she is determined to make herself indefensible. This leads to burnout and to her surreptitiously finding ways to shuffle some of her responsibilities around so she can rest.
She wonders about her real father and why he doesn't ever reach out or even inquire if she's well. She suspects briefly that Alphonse may be preventing contact but can't figure out what his motivation would be and lets the thought go. Sometimes she wonders if there is some deficiency in herself that caused her abandonment. Not a deformity of face or body but one of character. She frequently feels as if she's not completely real. Like she's just mimicking a personality but she also doesn't know what she would do or be if she wasn't re-enacting Caroline's role. Sometimes when she looks in the mirror she doesn't know who she sees. She is a stranger to herself. Her family's love for her doesn't make her feel safe or happy or comforted. It makes her feel alone because they love who she is when she is making herself small, quiet, gracious and patient. She wonders if her inability to be those things without pretending would make the Frankensteins abandon her too. She envies Victor. She resents Alphonse and Caroline, she struggles to be what they need. And she can't say any of it. It's worse because her life is comfortable and her family isn't cruel. but she can't shake the feeling that there is a pressure bearing down on her from all sides. She feels misplaced guilt over the deaths attached to her. Caroline died because she tended Elizabeth. William died because she gave him the locket. Justine died because she couldn't save her. She believes it's some kind of retribution for whatever it is that she lacks. Caroline was the person she was both closest too and resented the most. In some ways Caroline was almost more like a friend than a mother and Elizabeth felt as if Caroline could understand how it felt to be "rescued" by Alphonse and for that salvation to feel like prison. But Caroline would never admit it. She repressed and denied and insisted that everything was wonderful and her life was perfect. Elizabeth loved her for her compassion and hated her for her weakness. Caroline never fully stopped being a lost teenage girl kneeling at her father's coffin, in need of Alphonse's protection. Elizabeth also doesn't understand why she resents her life so much. She has all of the love and comfort someone like Justine would kill for but it feels like it's strangling her slowly. Smothering out all the things that make her ELIZABETH and distorting her into a pale imitation of Caroline.

Just finished Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice.
It was … okay.
The version of Heaven and Hell, God and the Devil, the Creation … all that was fun. Also the questions in the falling action of whether this was all planned, if so then who’s plan, who won, etc. Also good. I enjoyed the twist on all the lore.
What annoys me, though, are Roger’s and Dora’s parts in the book. Roger’s development adds very very little to the main action of the book; it’s almost overdevelopment, and he was kind of an accessory for Dora, who … had no development at all. She was just kinda there for Lestat to hype up. She might as well been one of the relics or art pieces Lestat gets excited over; less even. But even that comparison isn’t deliberately put in there. She’s just … she’s there for a plot purpose, and for our main guy to talk about and have the closest thing to sex in the human way. She has none of the depth of Gretchen, or Claudia, or Maharet, or even Akasha (who didn’t have much), or Rowan (also not much, but something), or even Mona (who I don’t see as having depth, but at least having character).
Unfortunately, I don’t know how that could be fixed well. Roger had more development than was needed, I feel, and was kind of stalling things before the good stuff happened. Dora probably could have benefitted more from that, but it still would have stalled the purpose of the story, and still would have been rushed. I think she needed to be a preexisting character to this book for her to be balanced better.
Armand was barely in the story, but because of his history in the other books, his reactions to the main action were more intriguing. That’s the kind of care Dora needed.
