We’re storming towards the end this week as we read chapters 17 and 18 through the theme of heroism. Islington needs Door to use the Blackfrairs key to open the door of their prison, so they can stage a coup on Heaven. They uses Richard as leverage to compel her to do so. Desperate, Richard and the Marquis play Croup and Vandemar off against Islinton, and things get wild.
