I’m amazed this is considered by some to be a children’s book. I’m unsure how I would receive this story had I not been familiar with it. We know that a great revenge is coming. And the story moves us to crave justice for Edmond and to marvel at the intricacy of his plot to achieve it.

The French names and places are difficult to digest. Some of the backstory (Franz and Vampa) seems drawn out. But revenge!
