And none of the Sentinels will ever do this again, or anything resembling it. We keep being told how powerful they are, but they do nothing with their powers after book one. Another recurring theme; a character is "so powerful", yet they don't do anything with said power. StarDrifter for example, didn't need to be an Enchanter in the first place. Nor does Faraday need to have magical powers because she never uses them; any time she should be using them, they get cancelled out somehow.
SCSF: It also makes them look quite silly for not using their powers when necessary, not to mention that I imagine quite a bit of the point of making them so powerful in the first place is to show it off.
And that's just bad grammar.
Indeed it is... I will mark that.
But if a wolf or a bear happens by, what then?
I guess Fernbrake would try to send them away... or it would just be bad luck.
Because every magical non-living thing in this series, such as the creepy annoying talking bridge, is female.
That is one way of trying to be feminist?
It's extremely ominous and the fact that it just goes blithely ignored is really really gross.
The fact that WolfStar is somehow not a Big Bad at some point is also quite bad; there truly should have been some confrontation.
It's "PUT your backs into it", stupid. Isn't this the second time she's made this exact same mistake?
I think she said something about Timozel "putting his entire shoulders" into something. Here, I could find something for "bend your back" to mean "make great physical effort", but I did not find "bend your back into [something]".
Reading people's minds without asking isn't polite?! THAT'S your reason for not doing it, rather than the fact that is' a horrible violation?? That's just so wrong.
It is quite telling that she apparently does not think it is wrong to do.
Train her in what, exactly? They don't train her at all! All they do other than take her to meet the Mother is manipulate her into doing what they want.
Maybe they wanted to train her in... well, I do not know, since she only gets her powers at the Mother. Maybe they wanted to teach her history?
Is this really the time or place for this sort of behaviour?
Now that you say it... it is quite out of place tonally. I will add that in, too.
This also sort of brings up another problem, which is that Gorgrael's powers are never properly defined. It's never made clear what he can and cannot do.
Whose powers are?
Treeferns, by the way, are a plant native to Australia and probably wouldn't grow in this climate.
That is something I am willing to forgive, especially since this is so close to Fernbrake that the Lake might magically support them.
