(GRANT APPLICATIONS THOUGH. Grant applications in their terror trump everything @___@)
This is also how I feel about it! Well, not quite, I do know there probably was a point at which I didn't understand Hexwood, but it was so long ago that I have absolutely no memory of it, and now rereading it's just like -- well, of course! Yes, that makes sense! Oh, gosh, and the way he thinks about that when he's this person makes so much sense in context of the way he's really that person, ISN'T IT GENIUS! And there's always something new to find in it. On this read especially I really enjoyed following the undercurrents with Hume/Martellian/Merlin, and the sort of sub-plot of the question of whether his personality is recoverable from the moral depths to which he's sunk in his fight against Orm, which isn't something I'd particularly paid attention to before.
On the other hand? :D DO GO ON.
Oh yay! I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it!
