Some random book thoughts
Aug. 1st, 2013 09:09 amThe Warchild snippets I mentioned in my last post are making me go back and reread the books -- not cover to cover, just spot-reading to get context for the vignettes, but it's reminding me how much fondness I have for these characters. ♥
Particularly Cairo Azarcon. When I read the books the first time, I imprinted heavily on Jos and Niko in the first book, but I think the more time I had to reflect on the series, the more I adored Cairo, who's probably my favorite character in the series now. And reading the missing scene I linked to in the last post made me realize something about him that I don't think I'd consciously thought about before, which is that he's a not-uncommon character type who's shown at a stage of life that we almost never see for that character type at all.
( Light spoilers for the first two books )
