That's an exercise in futility. I don't think anything could make Axis look good to me, and he hasn't even done all that much yet. I hate him. He sucks.
SCSF: Oh, I think you will hate him quite a bit more in the next books...
Oh, look, another massive life change that's enacted with absolutely no inner conflict whatsoever. What is Douglass's problem with bringing up plot points that have a lot of potential to be interesting, and then just throwing them aside with "and then they changed their mind about this thing that formed a pillar of their life with no problems whatsoever"?
To be fair, it might have taken place in this case, but Douglass completely skipped over it.
One, can you have an 'intense friendship' with someone you only spend about thirty-six hours with per year?
Yes, that was about what I wondered myself.
What is it with bad authors not knowing just how serious concussions are? They can kill you; you shouldn't be treating them like you stubbed your toe. And the worst thing is, it's not like this is some obscure piece of medical information that only a handful of doctors have ever even heard of it. Concussions are frighteningly common, and the damage they can do should be just as well-known.
I am already happy that Douglass had Hagen be affected by his concussion at all.
What would be interesting was if the Mother was speaking through Shra, temporarily possessing her to do an impromptu ritual for Azhure. ...even if the ritual itself makes no sense, and is nothing like Faraday's ritual... Eh, whatever.
Oh, the Mother certainly can and will do that, but if that were the case, we probably would have noticed.
