Astrid is so awesome! I mean, I am ridiculously attached to DWJ's cranky ladies anyways (Awful! Helen! Hildy!) but I especially liked Astrid because you could see so clearly how she gets to be the way she is.
Ah, but! In the little note at the end, DWJ points out that you only ever see one of Mr. Chew's hands mentioned at one time! Uh, I would not have noticed that at all if she had not pointed it out. But I think she is trying to imply that one of his hands is illusory, like Wednesday's other eye?
(Hee! I was a little that way in The Game, too. Well, half that, and half cracking up at 'Mercer', since I know someone who's been writing a contemporary Mercury using just that name!)
