I must admit that, though I can analyze literature with the best of them once I have read it, I have a personal dislike of speculation. I rarely have moments like this because I rarely think of the consequences of what is happening the first time I read something.
On the other hand, for this same reason, I did not understand what was going on in KoA until he starts being pretty obviously clever, and until Irene starts being pretty obviously in love. So the first third of KoA was a bit of a panic, since I couldn't understand why she would put him in such a horrible position.
That's what I get for listening to Costis's perspective. He's a nice sort of fellow, good at moving things, but a bit too literal sometimes.
