Rien ne va plus pour le peuple de France!! Les jeux sont faits: le peuple meurt de faim et l'Etat court à la faillite. La foule gronde et un certain 14 juillet 1789 approche à grand pas. Dans cette période de chaos, André et Oscar parviendront-ils à s'avouer leur amour malgré tout?
Some points:
- loosely translated: Nothing works for the people of France anymore! Everything falls into place (or all chess pieces are in place): people are starving and the state court to bankruptcy. The crowd roars and a certain July 14, 1789 is fast approaching. In this time of chaos, André and Oscar will they confess their love to anyway?
- I have the original release book on the left, last year, the new release - I think in hardcover, but not sure - had a new cover on the right - very classy.
- it only takes me a bit more than 2 years to finish this conclusion volume, even though I bought it at the same time with the first. Why? such tragedy. I didn't want to finish it. Lots of deaths.- the extra story is about a vampire inspired by a true story of a countess Elizabeth Batory of Hungary who killed 600 young girls!!! wiki has more in case it's of interest.
- I like Loulou - Oscar's niece.
- one more volume to go with sides stories.
Bottom line, good series, good characters, very sad story!
