I finished "Fantine"! That's actually only like reading one whole regular novel, but I'm still rather amazed I managed it. I'm taking the cheater's way out and only reading the plot-necessary bits of the Waterloo section, because dammit I want to know what HAPPENS. I'll come back for the rest when I'm done, probably.

I had a lot of very serious thoughts about Valjean's dark night of the soul (followed by his fourteen-hour road trip of the soul), but don't really feel like explaining them at length. However I am heavily invested in everybody, which at this point, not counting the dead, is Valjean and Javert. I expect to continue to love all the characters, even the awful ones. I am incapable of not loving main characters in any story, it is my curse.
