YMMV / The Bone Clocks

• Complete Monster: Immaculée Constantin was the second member of the Anchorites, a group that drank people's souls, particularly children and the mentally disabled, to fuel their immortality. After being rejected by a 7-year-old Holly Sykes, Constantin bore a grudge. Corrupting Hugo Lamb, Holly's one-time lover, Constantin directs him to perform unsavory crimes, such as torturing Crispin Hershey for information on Esther Little, Constantin laughing in the distance. Right before the final battle, Constantin mocks Holly on her age, makes a crude joke about her relationship with Hugo, threatens to murder her family so Holly will "howl with regret" and pulls other petty jabs. When she reveals to Sadaqat that they lied about letting him join the Anchorites—with casual racism to boot—she gleefully murders him. Complicit in the deaths of hundreds to fuel her lust for immortality and with a sadistic streak she takes pride in, Constantin was the face and the worst of the Anchorites.
• Jerkass Woobie: Crispin Hershey is, to put it mildly, an utter jackass who Can't Take Criticism, cannot deflate his ego to save his life, and cannot get anything right. On top of regarding his dwindling fans with barely restrained annoyance and making more than a few bigoted remarks over the course of his narrative, he also sneaks drugs into Richard Cheeseman's luggage and tips off airport security, simply because he believed that Cheeseman's negative review of Echo Must Die ruined his career. And yet, for all that, Crispin is so utterly pathetic in his desperate efforts to keep his failing career afloat and make amends for his many misdeeds including Cheeseman's incarceration, that it's hard not to feel sorry for him.
