Status Updates From Stardust

Septimus’s beard is “still coming in”? How old is he supposed to be?? And how long-lived are the Stormhold family royalty if the dad has been ruling for multiple centuries?

The Lilim are like the mother, maiden, and crone, right? I like that they’re all kinda one being, even separate. What’s up with the mirror selves tho?

The last of the heart being somewhat sentient is… unsettling to say the least.

Great, our first impression of Tristran is that he’s a peeping tom. Charming.

I forgot what an idiot this boy is. He’s shy and awkward, but openly begs Victoria to kiss and marry him? And cannot pick up on the fact that she’s mocking him.

Dunstan you’re a terrible father. Your son is useless and you just usher him along into the unknown without any guidance.

DUNSTAN THAT FLOWER IS DAISY’S HOW DARE YOU

What a long-winded way to say the story begins in 1837.

So… did the black-hatted gentlemen kinda date-rape drug Dunstan? He seems to genuinely like Daisy, but then he’s suddenly all over the servant girl. How is she determined to be his heart’s desire, exactly?

Gosh, Dunstan, she’s sobbing about being a slave and all you can think about is boning her.

Poor Daisy! Girl doesn’t deserve this sidelining.
