This is a mild spoiler I guess but idgaf
May. 10th, 2011 12:53 amI am poking at book 4 with a stick, and get this: IT STARTS WITH A WACKY ONSEN EPISODE. In more than a decade of reading/watching Western media and being like, "You know what this series needs? A wacky onsen episode!" this is the first time I've been handed one before I asked for it. Or indeed ever.
The author has an eerie and unerring instinct, I guess is what I'm saying. Taking the start (...and end) of book 3 into account, I will be disappointed if there is no sex pollen in book 5. Also, I don't understand why there isn't a Japanese edition of this on Amazon.
( If I had an airship I wouldn't get attacked by pirates every time I had to travel somewhere )
...There are all sorts of other side elements to this reading experience I could talk about. XD; For instance, apparently I don't need a farfetched excuse to stick Tinariwen on this here FST! Also, I've been investigating the era's fashions, because I'd sort of been leaving it up to the part of my brain that does the movies, and at this point halfway through, I wanted to see if I was off or not. XD; Not by much, it turns out - but then, if you're of a European ruling family and have had a Bronzino or a Holbein done, I'd recognize you passing on the street, which is more than I can say for some people I went to high school with. As the 1500s went, I have to say Dunnett picked IMO the two sanest-clothed decades for both men and women - which is saying a lot, considering that this was also the era of EPIC CODPIECE REALISM.
EDIT FOR THE EDIFICATION OF FUTURE READERS: the post is innocuous, but the comments are approaching nuclear spoiler levels for book 4. Pace accordingly. XD
