    Summary

    Apparently, as a result of the ongoing boredom-induced meteor-wide troll-human cultural exchange, whoever was dreaming this couldn't decide whether they were dreaming about Victor Hugo's Les Miserables or Troll Victor Hugo's In Which The Story Of A Serendipitous Kismessitude Between A Duty-Bound Legislacerator And An Honorable Criminal Is Told Against The Backdrop Of The Summoner's Final Revolt, An Adult Steals A Child From An Abusive Lusus And Secretly Raises Her Himself, A Subadult Seadweller Rejects His Lusus In An Attempt To Fulfill His Dying Ancestor's Wish, A Vile Conspiracy Against Her Imperious Condescension Is Utterly Defeated, There Are Extensive Historical Digressions On Matters Including The Production Of Grubmeal, The Early Conquests Of The Condesce, And The Waste Reclamation Systems On Starships, There Are Three Red Kisses, Fourteen Black Kisses, And Three Acts Of Sacrifice In Moments Of Pale Devotion, Over Two Dozen Named Characters Die, Mostly In Gory Violence, And Everybody Is Miserable Nearly All The Time But They Are Obviously Less Miserable Than They Would Be If Not For Her Imperious Condescension's Enlightened Governance, generally known in casual conversation as Troll Less Miserable.
