“To answer many questions about where you have been and what has become of you, since they saw you last...”
No doubt about it, this prologue is one of the most tantalising ever! First, MWT reminds us all just how good she is at showing without telling anything – hands up if you didn’t realise it was Sophos and the Magus! – and even once we know a thousand more questions spring up. Travelling? Robbed? The new face of Sophos?
Then there’s also one of the most human sides of Gen we see or have seen, in greeting both the Magus and Sophos – a useful reminder that Gen is still Gen as well as Attolis, when he promptly goes on to become so distant.
What do you think? Even on the umpteenth re-read, is it humanly possible to put the book down at this point?
Favourite line: “You know, I don’t think you’re allowed to treat me like this.”
