Now the serial novel takes a different turn, which I think was needed.  There is more edge to the personality of the narrator, which of course is the point.  Living in the mansion with Theo whom she loves and Wynn who oversees her changes, she is a blood vivicanti which means she keeps the memories with the blood.  She will not mature physically, but from the experience of her gift and the memories of others.  She is learning the uses of the blood memories, but she can be maddening in the risks she takes with no reason that I can discern.Ms. Crystobel, the "servant", has developed into my favorite character.  "She never complained about the workload.  She was amazing.  That should have told us: She wasn't from our planet.  Or from our universe.  I doubt she was from our dimension."  Ms. Cristobalite with her inscrutable look and her succinct comments steals the book.I am interesting to see how this develops next.
