“I had to make you stop [producing heirs]. I didn’t know what else to do.” How about just TELL HIM THE TRUTH? What was the point of not telling him about the blood rage from the beginning? Matthew drives me NUTS.
And Ysabeau! Why did she turn anyone, even once? Why did Philippe permit her to do that? And Matthew showed symptoms! Why did he turn anyone? Especially as petty revenge, like with Benjamin. So dumb.

How is possible for Diana to only just now discover like three different things that we the reader have known for AGES?? The book is through her head?? How does she not know!
Oh, NOW suddenly Matthew is so good at following orders? Since when is he capable of just blindly doing what freaking BALDWIN says? He’s gotten pissy over Diana blinking wrong before.
Why doesn’t DIANA WANT TO MURDER KNOX?? Seriously.

“Didn’t you tell your wife anything about vampire curvature?” NO VERIN. HE WITHHOLDS AS MUCH AS HE CAN FROM AND LIES ABOUT THE REST. No wonder she doesn’t recognize him as her brother.
Apparently Diana is going to sometime in the future timewalk back to Philippe’s deathbed and talk to him?
And she’s also going to go to the underworld or something? But why? Aside from visiting her deceased loved ones?

Ugh, I know it’s “just how vampires are” but the possessiveness of them and particularly Matthew is just so repulsive to me. The obedience expected from mates and the “ownership” over them is so gross. I really don’t get how anyone is behind the Diana and Matthew pairing.
Great, another thing Matthew hasn’t told Diana. Baldwin has dominion over her inherited from Philippe? I’m so bored with this.

Oh shit, I was NOT expecting some of our favorite characters to still play a part as ghosts! Yay, more Philippe! And interested in Rebecca’s presence.
Why can’t any of the gays be happy. Hugh and Fernando—tragedy. Sarah and Em—tragedy. Kit tortured into being a lil shit by his unrequited love. This lesbian really said “bury all my gays.”
Gallowglass is still one of the best parts of the series.
