"So you understand. You asked the question."
"Yes."
"Do you understand the answer?"
"Yes, so I've stopped the hurt."
Well, I sure as hell don't understand. Putting this on my reread list so that one day I might understand. It was a lot more esoteric than the first two books, and until 60% through I was excited for this new narrative style and direction but it felt like there should have been more somehow. I'm not mad at it, but it does leave me feeling darker about the first two books.
I would have appreciated the return of the Wizard Cadellin as well.
