What if Quasimodo went with Esmerelda when asked?

The premise of an AU taking up of 90% of my brain power. Named Beyond the Belltower, for obvious reasons. Working alongside two of my friends on this AU, we've started putting the rot into actual words.

You may find yourself asking, but why would he? Great question, that requires you to look into his shoes, if you had just been through a rough day, upset your master, and now a beautiful woman who showed interest in you (and saved you from further being tormented) offered for you to go with her.... would you say yes?

Updates through this AU will come from this account or @lisimcpisi or @angelosium69. Timeline and One-shots for the AU will be released soon, but please keep in mind this is a Quasimodo centric AU! All feedback welcome.

LES MIS RETELLING — “THE COURT OF MIRACLES ” by Kester Grant

Here's the cover of the Polish edition of TCoM, which I spotted in the books sale tent (@jediskijumper , thank you for helping me decide whether I wanted to buy it, even though my miserable heart was almost certain).

Tbh, I like the original cover much better, the Polish one let me down this time (although the map of Paris and the drawings with descriptions of the various Guilds are superb!)

Author, Kester "Kit" Grant commented on this cover by saying that Eponine is jumping like "a tiny angry Batman" lmao (BECAUSE, YES, IT'S EPONINE!!)

I was confused and it wasn't until I glanced at the wrapper at the end of the book that I realised it was actually.... fanfic for Les Mis?

On the back cover there is the name Nina Thénardier (ofc Éponine, our beloved main character) and Ettie (Cosette!). Cute nicknames, but Éponine seems dangerous and menacing, I think? I'll write about it in the next post. She could punch Marius in his face and eat him alive.

This book is so good that I will keep sharing excerpts of it, or rather my impressions.

I will write more about the plot (without spoilers, of course), so stay tuned!!

Fun fact: Everybody knows the Parisian "Cour des Miracles", right? But there's a funny thing: this Court of beggars and thieves and crooks seems to be doomed to the curse of anachronism. Because in almost all of its big fictional depictions, the Court is placed within eras where it is not supposed to exist - from "Assassin's Creed Unity", where the Court is still here in 1791 when it was definitively destroyed in the 1780s, to Victor Hugo's own "Notre-Dame de Paris" where the Court appears in 1482... While the Court historically appeared around the 1630s - maybe a bit earlier, but it was definitively in the beginning of the 17th century.

Ok so. The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant. (Spoilers for book 1)

I started reading that book on Barricade Day, because of course I did, and finished it today, and alright.

It's a solid YA book with an antiheroic protagonist. Alright, I'm game, I always eat that shit right up.

But. BUT. It's also a Les Mis retelling. And I have a few things to say about that.

It's in an alternative timeline where the french revolution got curbstomped, granted, but it's still full of Les Mis characters.

Valjean being a member of the Guild of Letters was a meh decision for me. I get how it cropped up, but the entire Court are supposed to be criminals, and I feel like it kind of spits in the face of Valjean's character as a good man who commited a minor crime in his youth and gets lifelong punishment.

Javert being a woman in this was also meh for me. If the sole reason behind this was for that romantic past with Valjean to exist, then I'm also disappointed.

Nina was just perfect. She can rob me anytime. Ettie as well.

Enjolras, or St. Juste, was fine, though I'm still not sure what his deal is. Is he in love with Nina? Is everyone in love with Nina? I kind of wanted more interactions with Grantaire. Fingers crossed for Enjoltaire in the sequels, though Javert's genderbending does not give me high hopes. (Also, the lack of Courf and Ferre annoyed me a bit tbh).

There is no Marius. If the prince is supposed to be a stand-in for him (another innocent Eponine/Nina falls for), then I thought the execution was a bit poor, since Marius never really gave a thought to Eponine, and the prince seems in love with Nina.

Montparnasse pls murder me. And I'm rooting for him and Nina to end up together. I mean, his little speech at the end of the book? I want what they have. Gimme Master of Knives x Master of Beasts, or whatever Nina will be by the next book.

And I want to see more of this history! We're talking 40 years of diverging from our own timeline! How was the last Guild War? Have there been any other minor revolutions, such as the July revolution of 1830? How did Napoleon get his foot in the door if there was no grand revolution to replace familial ties with merit? And who was the man who died in Marat/Orso's stead? Will this play into the plot somehow, either with descendants of the man who took his place joining the MCs, or with the prolonged survival of one of the icons of the failed revolution becoming relevant?

I really want the sequel guys.
