![]() ![]() This is easily the worst book in the series, but I would not recommend skipping it because some plot points are set up for the next ACOTAR series. However, we do get to see some more of Azriel, so that alone may make it worth the read. I’ve read this book twice, and did I hate it the first time I read it? Yes!

As reported in the Telegraph, it appears accurate that Chantal's conservative parents did not approve of Charles. Although she's clearly pregnant at their wedding in the miniseries, she didn't become pregnant in real life until after they were married. He married Chantal shortly after he was released in 1969, promising her he would give up his life of crime. On the same day that Charles proposed to Chantal, he was subsequently arrested for trying to evade police in a stolen vehicle and ended up serving eight months in prison. She is renamed Juliette Voclain in The Serpent miniseries. Charles Sobhraj's former wife, who's introduced in episode six, was a young Frenchwoman named Chantal Compagnon.
