queensthiefYou'll all have to chime in on this one because I have fewer examples.
The rules I play by (you don't have to): No proper names. No spoilers.
I think the perfect synecdoche in this game is an multi-layered inside joke to those of us who have read the series, but a serviceable (and spoiler-free!) summary for anyone who hasn't.
To get us started:
- Thinking of the river, he had no warning when a shadow appeared directly in front of him and he ran face first into a wall. (pg. 11)
- In the end, he prayed for help, any help, and left if for the god to decide what was best. (pg. 27)
- "What have you done?"
"Not much yet," answered the Thief from the darkness. (pg. 103)
I know some of you consider QoA your favorite, so I look forward to hearing your picks!
