Yennefer just bugs me. It doesn't help that about 90% of her dialogue with Ciri has no tags, and yeah, it's just the two of them but it does start to be confusing after a few paragraphs. (I think I owe my 4th grade language arts teacher an apology because I used to do that and insisted that readers would 'figure it out'. Yes, but they'll be annoyed.)
I read the author's note that mentioned Griffin was much more screwed up than Whyborne, and I disagree with that
So do I. Griffin's clearly got PTSD and claustrophobia from Chicago and the asylum, not to mention the emotional trauma from getting thrown out of Fallow and then being disowned by his parents, but he works on managing these things. Whyborne - taking different coping mechanisms into account here - really doesn't. (Drama, suspicion, and sulking are not management.)
Aww, there's going to be a Persephone and Miss Parkhurst story? Cute!
I wonder if Whyborne will ever clue in on Miss Parkhurst's desperate crush on him? Probably not until it's bluntly and blatantly pointed out by someone - he seems to be bad about getting emotional cues unless they come that way.
Oh, and yay for a job!
Thanks! Here's hoping I can manage to keep my temper. I am so amazingly done with customer service roles you don't even know.
