Status Updates From Wolf Moon

Oh cool, the villain is HUMMING OMINOUSLY.

"For...for what you have done this night, I will not give you an easy death."

What the FUCK are you talking about, you clown? You were ALREADY "not giving him an easy death." The whole reason he was able to do ANYTHING this night is because you've strung him along instead of just killing him your stupid OP magic. But sure. If drawing things out 4 TEH EBULS is the problem, doing it more is surely the solution.

"At the failure of his magic, all desire for subtlety fled him."

Any subtlety that Tuiloch's character had fled ages ago.

Seriously? Tuiloch's been doing this for a hundred years, and nobody's thought to just...block their ears before now?

"She fingered the clay in her pocket and wondered when she'd have the chance to stop her ears without any of them seeing what she did."

Just say you need to go to the bathroom.

"Though her every cell and fiber shrank from the task..."

Is Fion familiar with cells? Seems like there's a lot of little things like that, that just take me out of the setting.

"Long ago, my name was Yinadral. Does that name mean anything to you?"

No. That name means jack to me. If you want a dramatic reveal, you should probably try, y'know, setting it up beforehand.

A moose?! Are we not going for pseudo-European fantasy setting?

And suddenly Kern has a power to sense magic?

Ainsy might be the love interest, but Fion has become the female lead.

"She didn't even know the man and she'd been throwing herself all over him from the moment he'd come to the side of the sleigh."

To be fair, that's basically your relationship with Kern, too.

"He sae me only in wolfshape, Kern thought. Why should he recognize me now as a man?"

That's what I've been wondering. He has no reason to even assume that he was hunting a werewolf, let alone that he'll know it was you. Redheads aren't THAT uncommon.

I'm kinda annoyed that there's a "Sara" in a setting where everyone else has names likes "Kern," "Morain" and "Tolly."

"He knew then, with absolute clarity, that she could have his heart for the taking, that it was hers already."

You've known each other for, what? Two days?

Dude, if you're so worried about people finding out that you're a werewolf, and also you can control when you turn into a wolf, maybe you should, y'know...not turn into a wolf for stupid shit like this?

Hmm. So I guess Buffy wasn't the origin of the whole "full moon is three nights" thing.

Yeah, thanks, but we don't actually need to know about this to hear about the first time he became a werewolf.

The name "Tomtim" reminds me of that joke in Wyrd Sisters where they try to name the baby "Tom" and "John" at the same time, and he winds up as Tomjon.

"Eggs from the chickens, though that broke Wat's heart. It was only because his memory was so short that he didn't exist entirely on a vegetarian diet."

Did de Lint intend to say that they ate the chickens and get mixed up?
