...Seriously what is it with the smart peoples I am talking to on the Internets about Dunnett, I keep having to look up unfamiliar terms because my vocab has been vastly outpaced by the linguistic inventions of the interwebs since the last time I was involved on LJ in any significant capacity, circa 2006. Eg. I was talking to applegnat (who you should totally talk to about Lymond btw -- I think I've made this user rec before but I feel it is worth being eyeballed askance to do it again. SHE IS THAT AWESOME OKAY!) about Lymond and she kept using the term "fridging" in connection to Christian and I was like WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. But now I know! /irrelevance
Well, after you bring your whole toolkit to PiF, maybe you can explain to me, slowly and at length, why certain characters do the things they do. With Dunnett I am never sure if I failed to get something because it just wasn't there or because I am too much of a numbskull to live. :D
Have you got to the relevations in QP yet? See it coming at all? And yes, I do agree that QP is the slowest Lymond book. I liked the first half because asglaksgjlkag;ag heaping amounts of hurt/comfort (seriously? did not know I dug that stuff until Dunnett introduced this Outrageously Handsome Do Everything hero character and now all I want is to see him suffer), but the latter half, not so much. CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO GET TO DISORDERLY KNIGHTS/PiF HOLY COW.
