At a party of Lady Maria´s, which she is only attending because she is to help with preparations and whatnot, Emily meets the Marquis, Lord Walderhurst. Because Emily is not very clever but very good, she does not realize that she is basically being exploited. To support herself she acts as a companion to rich ladies and helps them with whatever needs to be done. When I started reading, I had no idea that this edition actually combines two parts, and so was very surprised how after a Cinderella-esque first part, the story turned very melodramatic.Įmily Fox-Seton is a spinster in her thirties (just writing this is weird!), and although she is from a good family, she is quite poor. ![]() Also, my brain doesn´t seem to produce coherent thoughts over 30☌.Įnough with the complaining □ The Making of a Marchioness was my first Persephone book, and I enjoyed it a lot.

They can either shoot an ice shard that homes in on the nearest target, or cause multiple shards to rain down on one spot. For the next several seconds, the statues at both ends of the map will start attacking you. When Avalanche uses Retreat, he teleports to the background, where he can’t be harmed. I’ll explain why when we get to Frozen Tomb. The second one is called Frozen Tomb, which I actually didn’t know about until very recently. The first one, as you may have guessed, is Retreat. Instead, we’ll be focusing on two specific ones. In this PSA, we won’t be going through all of his moves. Get it? Cool, like… cool?
