The book is now changing POV’s a lot and I’m not too terribly pleased. It’s taking everything in me not to put the book down. I honestly feel like the story is over. We’re not focused on Emilia right now or Julius, just the other 2D flat and boring characters who were touched by Julius in a moving way before his death. Some characters have potential to be better if fleshed out more.

Seems like something strange may happen. I’m very curious as to whether or not Rebecca is Emilia’s mom since her mom’s name wasn’t mentioned in the prologue or chapter 1. I also wonder if Rebecca may end up the same way Rebecca in Daphne de Maurice’s book of the same name did. So many questions yet no answers yet, only implications foreshadowing.

Very wonderfully written! Better than I expected. I already feel so bad for Emilia and I hate what happened to Julius since we’ve only just met him.
