I am... kind of a sucker for psychological warfare, as it turns out. And I love the smarter-than-I-am thing so much when an author can pull it off (or even kind of pull it off *cough*Dune)!
oh man I love/hate how they torture each other because they are family and they are so alike and understand each other so deeply.
I hadn't thought about it in quite this way, but... yeah. Yeah, this!
ETA: You mentioned not long ago that it was very difficult to read -- was this because of the twisted psychological torture or some other reason? I can certainly see having to be in a certain mood to really get through it, and I am sure that was also part of why I had trouble even starting it before.
