OK, let’s get into the more detailed “what is actually going on in TDW” read! This post will cover Chapters 1 through half of 9, or, “the relatively easy part to understand.” I will concentrate mostly on plot and on other features such as AU history, vampirism, and what-have-you mostly as they relate to the plot and what I think JMF is trying to do. (Although sometimes I will just talk about whatever I want to talk about. Also, since ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rachelmanija brought up magic, I'll try to put in some mentions of that.) However, I would welcome discussion of anything that is interesting to people! I will refer to Draco Concordans as “DC" and will sometimes parenthetically put in my reponses to various DC claims.
I will also occasionally mention a particularly good pun, none of which I understood before DC :P
The overall plot, let us remember, is Hywel’s plan to stop Byzantium from taking over England. That Byzantium wants to take over England is discussed as early as Chapter 1, although that Hywel is counter-plotting is not a thread that comes in until the end of Chapter 5.
( Cut for length. )
