I've read Hexwood twice. I remember the GIST of the plot. I just never remember ANYTHING COHERENT about the beginning/middle. There's a boy/there's a wizard/there's a dragon/there's a castle/there's a robot/there's a IDK WHO WHAT WHERE HOW WHAT? ?!?!

It is totally DWJ's epic trope bingo card, in FULL BLACKOUT MODE, because that is just how she rolls. I seem to recall reading somewhere that DWJ never really plots her stories in advance, just sort of figures them out as she writes? Which is both terrifying and yet also weirdly hilarious to me. I imagine any writer sitting down to try and plot this in advance would probably just throw their hands up in terror and quit anyway.

I probably need to get my own copy so I can re-read it another... 5 times or something. I should probably re-read Fire and Hemlock too, speaking of peculiarly inexplicable DWJs.
