I’ve come off Graveminder loving it. I would love to
see Marr go revisit this world with another story. She has left it open to
explore more aspects, like what Alicia’s ulterior motive might be. Something
else that could be interesting to see is what Amity has kept writing in her
journals. After saying she doesn’t want to forget anything, it makes me wonder
what could happen by her keeping a log of things happening.
Discovering
Charlie’s secret and why the deal was made in the first place made me a bit sad
for Charlie. Granted, he’s a clever dude and clearly does a brilliant job of
pissing off the Undertakers, it’s still sad for him that he did something so
drastically bad to impress someone he fell in love with. This makes me think
that Charlie is in love with all his graveminders. He’s said they’re his, and
they are surrogate mothers to all the dead he’s the father of.
Byron
and Rebbekah learning how to do
everything without the guidance of their predecessors definitely made it an
experience, one that we got to ride along with. The guidance they did have was extremely helpful and made
me love those who were there to help even more. I did really like seeing
Rebbekah coming to terms with Ella and her feelings for Byron.
I
was honestly a little surprised by Cissy being the culprit. I knew she was
angry that she had been passed over for Graveminder, but I hadn’t pegged her
for being a murderer and creating her own little army of walking dead. I
expected to see more of Cissy in a different capacity, especially since I didn’t
think she knew enough about the dead to do anything. Since she got her mother’s
journals, she clearly knew what to do.
Now,
what I’d be curious to see is if Melissa Marr would write one of the
graveminder’s journals for us. It would be really neat how to what others went
through while they minded the dead. Since I’ve finished, I might just have to
grab Carnival of Souls off my shelf
and see what she has set up in that world J
I have to say that the whole Cissy thing threw me for a loop as well. Katie and I talked about this briefly, but what did she hope to control by raising an army of the undead? She had to know she couldn't control them! But I guess she was blinded by her own anger of not being picked at Graveminder that she would have done (and did) anything to get revenge.
