...Ahem. *dreamz of mush totality*

And that was the last chapter! The story, as a whole, has potential for more than just .

Adieu.

Thank u, Chapter 9, for u have given us new dreams of Mercedes constancy (to Dantes) to dream about.

Dumas had for his own convenience neglected the Mercedes viewpoint to the breakup of the lovers and thereafter. Women's inconstancy to their beloveds was implied. "Frailty, thy name is woman," he had voiced thru his protagonist.

Chapters 5 n 6 done, non-stop.

About Ch5, what is there left to say except some mysteries suppressed within Mercedes' heart r yet to be resolved, while others such as her suicidal desires after Dantes had gone missing for a length of time sans a logical reason, may have been implicit in Dumas' story.. the notable difference from this story's proceedings being Mondego supplanting the priest as the saving hand.

As to this chapter, gosh, it has broken my heart in not the natural, suitable manner!

Chapter 4's done for now. A good chapter, despite the moderated inconsistencies with the original.

Y'know, as have countless other devoted readers of the Monte Cristo saga, I too have tried, in vain, to discover that Mercedes' child was actully begotten of Dantes (perhaps in an episode of free-spirited lovemaking) and passed off as Mondego's in deference to the happiness of his newly acquired treasure, viz Mercedes herself.. In fact some spunky-authored adaptations go all out on this premise, and have been published into print thus. I can name one noteworthy.

That there's one notable twist to the story, n I'm not certain I'm able to judge its contribution to the tale's merits.

I have just finished the 2nd part of the story; it's pitifully short n my expectations have been fuelled but not yet ignited.

As I finish the first chapter of this story, n of course this being my first reading of a Monte Cristo sequel fiction (Oh, for fear that this splendid bitter-sweet Dumas story whose every thread I'm acutely aware as to how it's woven, for fear that any casual, sans-research adaptation-**-sequel shall only bring more pain at the ludicrousness of the effort), I cannot but say that --

had this particular writer put in thrice his/er efforts, why then, there would indeed be one acceptable sequel ready for print publication.

i see from what you have wriiten you've read the book.. kudos to you

Aw, el final (otra vez) se...

Debo admitir q no me esperaba q acabara asi, pero me gusta! Mercedes y Edmund finalmente tienen la familia (y la felicidad) por la q tanto sufrieron. ESO es un FINAL! yay!

Insisto: eres una muy buena escritora. Disfrute cada capitulo! (y traducirlos). Espero sigas escribiendo!

Pobre Mercedes, si q sufrio... no tanto como Edmund, pero...

Si q se toman las cosas con calma; si yo fuera Edmund, ya la hubiera obligado a decirme q decidio desde el principio! (soy una impaciente). Mejor aun... si fuera Mercedes ya le habria robado un beso! (ok, exagere...)

Finalmente esos dos estan juntos! si q les costo trabajo!
Me fascina!

Aw... momento tierno entre Edmund y la familia de Morrel. Me gusta!

Y si, yo tambien me confundi con lo del nombre... creo q algunas de mis neuronas entraron en crisis antes de darse cuenta de q era el niño jeje.

Insisto: me encanta como transmites las emociones... casi se respira la tension en el aire!

Vamos, Mercedes! besalo antes de q yo vaya a robartelo! (momento... dije eso en voz alta?) *Louis: me temo q si...* Rayos!

Sabes algo? casi me MATAS de un infarto con este! (y tu sabes bien q eso no es facil en una vampira). Tan emocionante!

Q reflejos tiene ese Edmund... por suerte

No se si te lo dije cuando lo lei en español... me sorprende lo bien q puedes transmitir las emociones en este cap. Una casi tiene ganas de ponerse a llorar por la pobre Mercedes! *Louis: lo hizo... creeme*

Pobre mujer, de verdad q se merece otra oportunidad.

Y q bien me cae ese sacerdote!
