Heh. Did you read Coalition right after Prince? Because it just killed me to do that (well, what I mean by that is, it killed my reading of Coalition and I didn't come back to it until five years later) because all that painful growth Medraut goes through, all the realizations he claws himself towards -- all for nothing! I could not deal! You are clearly tougher than I am :) (I suspect actually the operative part is that you are more of an analytical reader than I am, but same effect :) )
