The characters kinda trickled out of the story at the end. I wish we didn't spend several chapters waiting for an ending that was disappointingly predictable from the moment the final drama was established. I wish I had more time to doubt his intentions and that he made more mistakes. After the Count is established, you never doubt that he will succeed. I enjoy watching their various disappointments and downfalls that they earn. I enjoyed how, in the beginning, the various Parisian elite are silly and charming, but as you spend time with them and you see how ugly their behavior is, they become sickening. I enjoyed the development of the relationships and intrigue and I felt Dumas was able to craft complex characters, pitiable villains (with some notable exceptions). An excellent view of the upper crust in the 1800's Paris.
