currentlyreadinginCO I liked this ch & getting to see Fyodor's theatrics 😂 4mo
currentlyreadinginCO I also skimmed the chapters we've already covered because I was mad confused about the characters but now I think that I've got it straight 😅 4mo
AllDebooks Fyodor and all his 🚩😅 4mo
BarkingMadRead @currentlyreadinginCO he‘s something else! It‘s nice to see it though, and not get the basics like we have in previous chapters 4mo
5feet.of.fury Fyodor is such an ass. 😂 poor Alexei having to deal with these theatrics 4mo
CatLass007 This is the first time I‘ve read the book and I‘ve never seen more than a snippet of the movie, but I thought he was going to be some kind of tyrant. He hasn‘t come off that way in the chapters we‘ve covered so far. I don‘t think he‘s a clown either, even though he behaves like a buffoon in this chapter. I definitely will continue with #thebros to figure out who everyone is down deep and what‘s going to happen next. 4mo
CatLass007 It‘s actually hard to stick to one chapter a day because the chapters are a manageable length and I want to get to the “meat” of this story. But I know I‘m free to read it however I wish and I do enjoy our daily discussion. 4mo
BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 you should 💯 read ahead if you want! 4mo
Bookwormjillk I think he‘s up to something 4mo
CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead Oh, I will. I may be overcommitted to challenges and buddy reads though. So it‘s probably best not to change anything yet. 4mo
willaful I'm two days behind! This chapter sounds interesting though, so I'll try to catch up. 4mo
mcctrish I thought they were going to see the great elder to hear him pray or bless them, but instead we get Fyodor being ‘pleasnt‘ and he never shuts up #mansplainingoriginstory 4mo
Bklover @Bookwormjillk I think you‘re right- he‘s a sneaky old fart and he‘s up to something! 4mo
dabbe Fyodor: our comic-relief villain. #selfnamedbuffoon 4mo
KAO @currentlyreadinginCO I also have had to skim the previously read chapter before moving on to the new chapter each day! “Wait. Who is this again?” And then another check of the list of characters (and the 13 alternate names listed for each). This is how I only got through the first third of War and Peace and finally gave up (many years ago). I hope I can stick with this one! 4mo
currentlyreadinginCO I am glad that I am not the only one!! I also googled a character name to see who they were and a whole explanation was available since this book is so well-studied, so that's an option if you get stuck! @KAO 4mo
KAO Thanks for that tip! @currreadinginCO 4mo

eeclayton @Cuilin Couldn't agree more! 10mo
Ruthiella Fitz and Mary both seem determined to play the martyr. Yet another thing they have in common. 🙄 Let‘s hope Elizabeth can help put this right! 😃 10mo
willaful LOL, best meme ever!

Mary is indeed annoying, but I feel like this is one place in the book that really makes sense to me given the original characters. (Though I still think #MaryWasRetconned.) I can see what happened with Edmund affecting her like this.

mcctrish Mary is totally getting on my wick @Cuilin am I wrong in remembering it took quite a few requests from Fitz to finally get a foot in the door at the Crawfords and then all everyone can talk about is Mary is engaged ?! Fitz is wise to steer clear Mary will have her knickers in a knot over something every damn day 10mo
Cuilin @mcctrish she‘s one who says go away and then gets mad when they go away. #StayClearFitz 10mo
dabbe @Cuilin #ruhroh ... When you say to “stay clear“ you know that's code talk for “never give up and waste away until you get her!“ Whew. The two (ahem) older people have more drama than the younger folks! 🤣🤩🤗 10mo
