Cinnamon Ass

With Durand in danger and Guercy beguiled, D’Eon pays a visit to Queen Mary whose revelations fill him with unease. Meanwhile, Dashwood and Robespierre maneuver themselves into position to compete for mastery of Medmenham and power within the Revolutionary Order.

Queen Mary = interesting, the rest = meh. I am plodding through Chevalier at the moment, and it’s mostly from a sense of duty - I want to finish the series, I particularly want to see episode 18 and some of the stuff beyond, but it just feels so padded! I suppose that’s the danger with such a heavily plot-driven series, but virtually every conversation the characters have is meaningless or simply sets up the next plot point without adding anything to anyone’s characterisation.

I shall stop moaning and just get on with it (maybe) but still. Grr!
