This book is really good. About a third of the way through it jumps ahead a bit and you feel like you're supposed to recognise some old characters with new names, and I thought I was going to have to go look some stuff up to keep up, but just keep reading because it all comes together really well.
My only real complaint is that I would quite like to know a bit more about what happened to some of the characters, specifically Baron Danglars, Eugénie Danglars, Louise d'Armilly and Albert de Morcerf after the book ends, but that's OK.
My favourite character though is Château-Renaud, just because he keeps showing up all the time and never does anything. He's always there just so some of the more involved characters have an extra person to speak to, but he doesn't influence the plot at all and nothing happens to him, he just carries on unaffected the whole time. He's great.
