Linkies...

I ran across a couple of recent links I thought y'all might be interested in. This one is a review of CoK (and the rest of the series) at the Fantasy Literature site, and this one is a really interesting discussion of theophany in mwt's books. Cool stuff.

I got the impression that we were watching her fall in love with him throughout the book but she didn't realize until Ephrata.

I sort of agree. I actually think she says something like that to herself at Ephrata---that she had been a fool to fall in love with someone she'd made into an enemy, and was only just now realizing it.

But the way I see it, it's not love if you don't even know what the emotion feels like. For me, she could only love him after she'd figured out that loving him was possible, which happened at Ephrata. So I think technically I'm doing a little retrospective editing to what she actually thinks, but it's because I think what she was thinking was incorrect. But my interpretation is very idiosyncratic.
