The Rose of Versailles, Volume 2 is much like the first volume. I don't really have much to add - my general impression of it is mostly the same. I am enjoying Oscar's growth away from being a monarchist. Antoinette and Fersen still bore me. There isn't a ton in this volume that makes it stand out - I suspect all of them will blend together in my head. The scandal of lesbianism was both funny and exasperating.
