History YMMV / HisFairAssassin

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: When Anne makes it public clear that she will never marry D'Albret. Hell, pretty much any time Anne shows just how strongwilled she is.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: When Ismae meets her father in person.

** When [[spoiler:Francois]] shows up in his BigDamnHeroes moment [[spoiler:effectively saving Anne from being [[FateWorseThanDeath being captured by d'Albret]]]]. After spending a good chunk of the book [[spoiler:being a minor antagonist by proxy of his mother, he ''rode like hell'' to Rennes and roused the garrison to ride to Nantes on nothing but Duval's word that Anne was in danger]]. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* CompleteMonster: D'Albret. In the second book, not only do we receive confirmation that he did, in fact, murder every single one of his wives, but he also planned to brutally rape Anne and then force the marriage once he captured her at Nantes — and, the absolute crowner, he murdered his own newborn granddaughter within minutes of her birth. Right in front of his own daughter. While she begged and screamed for someone to stop him. When his wife Alise did try to interfere, he struck her down so viciously that she ended up dying from the blow to the head. Then he snapped the child's neck, dropped the baby on the floor like trash, left both corpses lying there, and calmly walked out of the room. Oh, and he taunts Sybella about making her his next wife once he finds out that she's not truly his daughter. Even worse is when Julian interferes. He tells Julian that Julian would be forgiven for everything if he produced heirs with Death's blood in their veins — in other words, if he raped Sybella repeatedly into pregnancy.

* CompleteMonster: Both Ismae's husband and father, though D'Albret and his mother really take the cake.

* CompleteMonster: The award goes to D'Albret once again, and yes, it ''deserves'' a second mention. In this book, not only do we receive confirmation that he [[spoiler:did, in fact, murder every single one of his wives]], but he also [[spoiler:planned to brutally rape Anne and then force the marriage once he captured her at Nantes]] -- and, the absolute crowner, he [[spoiler:murdered ''his own newborn granddaughter'' within ''minutes'' of her birth.

There are no words for how utterly evil this man is.

For the love of Mortain, is this even {{YMMV}} anymore?

* TearJerker: Everything about [[spoiler:[[TheReveal the truth behind Alise's death and Sybella's descent into insanity that had her sent to the convent]]. ''Everything''.
