Sophos becomes a field-hand, and gets a new name/nickname. Is this section the equivalent of Gen’s Winter of Whining?
At the same time as Rural Life becomes a major feature, another library appears, this time with a rather tantalising haul of book titles and Moira as tutor, though Sophos doesn’t recognise her. His “studies” and life start to relate to each other, with particular emphasis on the nature and qualities of monarchy. How do all the monarchs in ACoK measure up?
There’s also what Gen would have called “an instructive story.” The immediate parallel is quite clear, but is it relevant that it leaves Sophos with a whole pile of questions?
On a less important point, what do you think the Magus had been doing in a library in Ferria?
