Catherine letting these folks disrespect her is wild when 1) She's the Queen Mother and 2) SHE HAS A VIAL OF POISON AROUND HER NECK.

Can we hurry up and get to Catherine’s villain era where she starts poisoning her enemies?!?

Catherine has had a vial of poison around her neck for seven years and she hasn't used it yet?!? My first target would be Henri's horrible bestie. While I don't condone murder, in the words of Lady Gaga "I don't believe in the glorification of murder. I do believe in the empowerment of women."

What THEE hell is this epilogue?!? I don't give a crap about some random descendant!

"She saw herself reflected in his eyes. And that was how both she and Lyon had seen the world for years: through the lens of each other."

"She loved him. She always had.
He knew it as surely as he knew the color of his own eyes.
And he was just as certain then he'd been born loving her, as surely as he'd been born with blue eyes. It was that simple. That permanent.
And if it was a curse, then he didn't know what a blessing was."

"On the other hand, surely nothing could be more mundane. For there would be no myths, no operas, no plays, no flash ballads, if men and women before the two of them hadn't performed this particular fruitless pas de deux over and over since the beginning of time."

Well damn. Lyon read Olivia DOWN 😭


*she deserved it though

So, Henri was a teenager and Diane de Poiters was 43 YEARS OLD?!? Jail. Straight to Jail. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars!

It took y’all long enough to finally meet in the present 😭

"He'd never known there was much pleasure in simply quiet breathing with another human being."

I’d forgotten that Julie Anne Long loves long chapters 🙃
