What an ass. I hope he gets put in his place.

Seems like he gets hurt whenever something big happens. Classic Tolkien out - so you don’t have to fill in the details, but probably realistic.

I do love the musical components, the image that music can soothe emotion and relieve stress.

It is still weird that a 7 year old told a person 11 years their senior that they will marry but I still think it comes across so far as cute not creepy.

Some of the ideas I found so novel as a teen (telepathy for communication, mentals at interdepartmental drives) just feel a little underdeveloped now.

Ohhhh he said the book title!!!

“Women’s intuition” more sexism

Such a child to throw away a set path and responsibility for… music? I mean I love music too but it isn’t like he couldn’t still play music.

He is just so whiny and not very nice to her. I suppose I could accept that if it had an anti rich viewpoint but he so quickly folds for the wealthy lifestyle.

More misogyny than I remember.
