Wind? Oh yes! *headdesk* For some reason, it got in my head that her name was Indigo… Maybe because we haven’t seen her long enough.

Ah, yes, Hood interacting with Val gotta be something, with him all like ‘Give me space’ and Val is literally ‘What is personal space?’ :D

I suppose that’s what we would call ‘gone terribly right’. ;) If Lask hadn’t been killed on Waveworm, his creation would’ve kicked Ublaz in the tail, hard. And that explains why Ublaz was so worried about Lask developing free will – who would want a giant armored lizard that’s as smart as you are as an adversary?

Hmm, I didn’t realize the tendency until now, but you are right, many places in the books seemed rather new! I guess giving a place a lasting history and linking it with other stories and characters is not as easy as creating something new, plus it would’ve raised a question as to why Redwallers didn’t encounter these places earlier.

Ah, I can see. To be honest, I spent most of the story being sorry for Sayna, because she is so tired of life and its disappointments, and old and worn out, so partly I can understand her snapping… though it doesn’t make it easier to watch her being so pessimistic and cynic.

And thanks for clearing that out! Sometimes I worry that my comments come out as too harsh and pushy, and I always word them carefully when it comes to discussing serious topics, because, on the one hand, I don’t want to sound like I’m trying to silence you or stop from expressing your ideas, and on the other hand, I still want to share my own opinion on the topic. Anyway, it’s really good to talk to you, Sayna. *hugs*
