Don't look if you don't like spoilers Shadow.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, it really changes the way you look at things if you reread the series. Because this time you know that the Will is diliberatly trying to end the Entire. Freaking. Mulitverse!

It gets worse when you consider that every being in the house except the few near Arthur have been utterly destroyed. All the more or less nice and like-able Denizens, Piper's Children and Raised Rats..

The Architect is a jerk. Isn't she?

---------------------------------------------------------------

You can resume reading now.

So, Shadow, have you read anything by David Eddings?

It does...



I just despise the fact that my reading schedule is totally funked up. I have most of my time for either homework, or writing, or doing online research...

First part of the post: Srsly? You expect me to be able to resist peeking? Ya know I peeked.

Second part of the post: No. I don't believe I has. My reading is mostly research, of a religious and mythological nature. I think the last book I got through MOST of the way was Gulliver's Travels. The original, long version. Though, sadly, I have a lot of the classics in my possession.

Dracula, Canterbury Tales, Frankenstein, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Gulliver's Travels, etc. (and Dorian Gray on pdf)

I need to get through them all.

I don't think she was a jerk. She was just trying to undo her mistake and let somone else do a better job.

Yeah, it's mostly self-imposed, but still...

I wish I could get through it all.

And I need to find Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles. And the Three Musketeers. And the Count of Monte Cristo. And The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And Great Expectations...

You should read something by David Eddings


Anything besides the Dreamers. Which is the only bad thing I have ever seen him write.

No. She was tired of living and wished to die.

However, because of what she did to the old one, she couldn't die until he was free and allowed to rejoin with her.

Which required the destruction of most of reality.

I love his books.

To the point that I have read them six or seven times.

I'm actually rereading one of those series now...

But did she really have to kill everything?

Why not just abandon the house, then destroy it, and let the new heir rebuild?

Less death.

The problem with this theory is that Arthur just put everything back t the way it was before.

He changed some stuff. Basically The architect gave him the choice to keep running her mistake or to create his own. She did not want it anymore.
