The Great Ordeal / Re: [TGO SPOILERS] Prologue + Chapter 1 excerpt
« on: June 11, 2016, 09:53:30 pm »Agreed completely. I'd say it goes under the radar because it's more understated, but he's gone through real changes despite still being a believer to the core. Though I suppose anything seems understated compared to the bugfuck insanity of Cnaiur's arc.Just read these two chapters, some really great material here. My hear breaks for Proyas, though it's good to be reminded he's a consummate fanatic at the same time.
I actually really enjoy Proyas' journey over books. I feel like it's underrated.
As to the point about the alien worldview I wholeheartedly agree! It's rare that an author can convincingly portray a medieval fanatic mindset I think.
Darzin,
I'm not so sure about Serwe's characterization, it seems to me a big part of it is that her arc is so repetitive and ultimately just ends without any real change to her. Maybe re-reading the Warrior Prophet will change my mind.
