The Sanza twins laugh at his poor efforts early on, so Locke dusts the twins beds with chilies in retaliation.

Locke learns the ways of a Perelandro Priest under Chains and each day is made to spend two hours learning to read and scribe. What is interesting is that so many people ‘like the mystery’ of it and yet an equal amount of people want to know more about them… I guess you truly can’t please everybody, right? 😀Īnyway, let us begin this week’s Read Along post – this time it’s all about The Grey King. I really liked the thoughts people gave about the Elder race. Thile’s belief that they were an Atlantis like society was really cool and I tend to agree. Alister Davison’s idea that they could have been like Elves or the theory he shares with many other readers that they were a kind of alien race is very cool too.

In an interview I did with him a couple years back he said that at times the transitions are ‘ not particularly smooth‘, and that they’d be one of the things he’d change about this first book if he could now as a more experienced author. You may be interested to know that Scott himself is unsure about them. I’m with the ‘love’ group, I feel that Scott shows us just enough in the chapters to have us asking questions that he then answers in the interludes. Last week was great fun, there were some really intelligent answers to the array of questions I raised and, as I expected, this Read Along is really enhancing the reading experience for me 🙂 It’s interesting to see the love-hate relationship readers have with the interludes.
