Weird how this is a good story but also a deeply unsatisfactory one. I couldn't come to like Foolish Cur, having so much difficulty with the depth of his selfishness. Ultimately he started out as a child, and we see his progression from that childish desire to conquer. But he's not a likable person, even on the final pages of this book.
