Re-reading Deep Wizardry
Dec. 16th, 2003 03:24 pmI bought myself a spiffy new copy of this one recently, so that all my YW titles are either hardbound or the Magic Carpet paperbacks. Yesterday I started re-reading it and I'm nearly finished. Two thoughts predominate:
One, doesn't exactly the *opposite* thing happen to Kit from what S'reee warns him about, with the whalesark? She warns him against losing touch with whale nature and reverting to human behavior and bodily functions, but what actually happens to him is what she warns *Nita* against in her shapeshifting--losing touch with his humanity, not his assumed cetacean self.
Two, am I just a big perv, or does anyone else see Unresolved Sexual Tension between Nita and Ed? They kinda have that older man/younger woman thing going, what I've come to think of as Snape/Hermione (in the fanfic sense).
Great book. Makes me cry a lot.
