Re-reading Deep Wizardry

[ex-mommybir.livejournal.com]

I 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.

Yes, I've been trying to figure out what happened with Kit for a long time--nice to know I wasn't just being really dense.

As for the second thing, that's . . . disturbing. Yes. Very disturbing. o.O

Very good book, though. My favorite YW book . . .

Sometimes intended things with characters swap, with her, and I do believe it's accidentally.

Spock's World, frieght deck of the Enterprise, Kirk is talking with two recently-married crewmembers. Midway through, they swap hair color.

I see that UST too! Hee! Or Unresolved Something, at any rate.

UST?
... er, not. *winces* but I will next time I read it, I'm sure... >.

THANK YOU! So I'm not the only one who's spotted that UST...
