Kaylin does still appear childish in the books but in fairness to Ms. Sagara, not a lot of fictional time has elapsed between the first book and the last. She has grown in accepting the Tha’alani and Severn.

I am conflicted about this book. On the one hand, it revealed aspects of Kaylin’s past which added depth to the character. On the other hand, the parts that didn’t focus on Kaylin’s past felt like a major set up to the next book in the series. It felt a bit incomplete at the end of the novel. I don’t know if other readers felt the same.

And I totally agree about the paradox. My question is this… if they met, why didn’t he remember, or did he and did he choose to do what he did because of the paradox or in spite of it. I want to talk about it too. The speculation, the speculation!

At least they contracted her for a few more books,w e might finally get answers. I do have to say that for those looking for some romantic movement, don’t be shocked if it doesn’t come out quite the way you want. She does tragic love (Hunter’s Oath/Death) really well.

Yeah.

I’d like to see there be something more between her and Severn (boo, Nightshade!), but I’m starting to think that’s just not going to happen.

I do, however, wish Severn were more than a tag-a-log sometimes, even if my feet are firmly planted in the Nightshade camp. I’d like a little more tension there.

As for the paradox–no. Their actions didn’t cause it to be impossible for them to take their actions. Thus, no paradox.

Go Team Nightshade!
