Ah, understanding dawns. The titles of these books are rather major spoilers - I was just waiting for her to figure it out, and it took a long time! I think I've seen the scene with Seledor before, from the opposite perspective (oh dear, gonna have to do some rereading, how I suffer). I actually found the details of what she was building fascinating - all the little steps that led to solutions. The confrontation with... him (no spoiler)... felt slightly off, though - he was being a threat to her, and that's not supposed to be in their mindset. Or maybe I was impressing my view of things on the scene, and he was not intending threat. Fascinating, still dark (though much less nasty than the first book), and a lot of tears at the end - appropriately. As usual, a very rich story, and one that will reward rereading. ( )
