ending---i was quite shocked when the Alligator King ate his last meal. even more suprised than i was at Grandmother's betrayal or Calico's death. did Applet really just do that? i thought. kill the evil human in the jaws of wise predator. it was so satisfying, so perfect, but what does that say about me? is that a little sliver of evilness growing in me? How can I feel so very triumphant at this violent event? or was justice served?



So far--this story deserves the hype. Thanks y'all for talking it up.
A favorite recent selection:
....Hawk Man and Night Song, in their new skin had slipped away. For trees, who see so much sorrow, so much anger, so much desperation, know love for the rare wonder of it, so they are champions of it and will do whatever they can to help it along its way.
wow. wow. wow.
