Hmm...I guess everyone's tired of 1897.
Not me! Im gonna miss seeing ole Pansy/Charity, Magda, Quentin, Beth and the whole lot. And as much as I couldn't stand Aristede in the beginning, after awhile he does kind of grow on you. Im not sure if I can get use to this whole Leviathan thing.
What I can't understand is why Barnabas never learns from his past mistakes with his loved ones. Everytime he leaves them alone and "promises to be back soon" something always happens! He left Josette alone originally in 1795 and she winds up getting frightened by Angelique and then jumps off the cliff. Then in 1897, he leaves Kitty and tells her to wait for him in Josette's room, then she fades away. Now he gets his chance again with Josette and tells her to wait in her room at the old house, and once again, something happens!!
He sees they're frightened of being left alone and usually with good reason. Yet, he
always has something to do. Why couldn't he just summon Ben to come to him at the old house instead of deciding to trek through the woods himself to find him? Or better yet he could have just "disappeard" and met up with Ben faster! He always chooses the hard way when he can get things done so much faster by using his own powers. And why does he need Ben there just to watch that no one disturbs them? Hasn't anyone ever heard of locking the door?
