it was amazing

4.5 Stars

Well, holy hell.

Edmond Dantes is one of the most adorable MMCs I have ever read. What happened to him was a travesty—unacceptable and deplorable —dealt to him by some damn dirty vipers (no offense intended to the Azemiopinae, Crotalinae, and Viperinae).


***********SPOILER ALERT!************
But the big question is, "DID HE GET HIS REVENGE? "
Yes, he did. Four traitors met their end, but not without some unexpected twists and turns in the plot and mistreatment of characters- some of which I found disagreeable and even disliked.

Now, after reading this, one of the takeaways just may be:

Money cannot buy you happiness- BUT it can fully fund one of the most elaborate revenge plots known to humankind and allow for endless flexes while doing so.
AKA
----Get that money, and then make them pay

....right?
