Renegade's Magic > Part 2: Ch 6-10

[Hanne]

ch6 - not liking olikea much. in the previous chapter when nevare/soldier's boy told her to stuff it i was very glad. with every page she's becoming more of a golddigging fame whore than anything else (apologies for my language, but there really is no other way to describe her :))

there is also something totally weird about her relationship to her son. i feel his aunt is playing more of a mother role than she is.

highlight of the chapter though: the 'mad woman' is mad! ^^

Ch7 - Epiny Rocks! At least there's someone not just laying down and taking whatever the magic dishes out. She certainly wields a mean hatchet.

At least Lisana seems sympathetic about how the magic uses them all.

She certainly does. Pregant or not, she's kicking butt morally and psychically. I like!

ch8/9 - Not much to tell. Still disliking Olikea but really liking Likari. I do wish we would have gotten a glimpse of the Gernians reaction to the road devastation though. Maybe even through Epiny's visit or through the dream.

Ch 10 - Cool how Nevare can dream walk. Reminds of Skilling and how Fitz would share his daughter's dreams.

hmm, interesting connection, i hadn't thought about that. and he has done it before with Epiny to lisana's tree

I guess I'm becoming impatient, I got very little out of chapter 6, almost started skim reading.

Still frustrated with the lack of growth by Nevare then I read this section from chapter 7
"But like Nevare, he has suffered from being incomplete. That can happen when a soul is divided; part becomes impulsive and the other half indecisive. Half can be given to dramatic shows while the other half expresses next to no emotion at all. One acts without thinking; the other thinks without acting."
I guess I can buy that for Nevare he has never been what I would consider a go getter but I have a hard time believing Soldier's Boy wouldn't put up more of a fight to take over.

This also makes it sound like this divided soul issue has occurred quite often in the past if the Speck are that familiar with the symptoms.

I know what you mean. It's like a slow buildup to a completely different story when we want some resolution to the other two books. Things start getting interesting in the second half - or maybe the last third.
