Status Updates From Countess

It's strange how this book makes me remember details from The Count that I'd forgotten. It's very condensed, obviously, but it's hitting all the major components. I am VERY curious how this last hour or so plays out...

Right now, this is making me want to reread The Count of Monte Cristo.

I knew going in that this was a retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo, so I caught the setup of the coin and the packet immediately, but I am very curious how this plays out over the rest of the story.

Retelling Count as a novella seems very ambitious...

This is a great space opera packed into a novella.
