Agreed. I love the first chapter from her point of view. The whole wind metaphor is cool.Joy wrote:Give Liete Corregio a break, ok? She inspired SRD to some of my all-time favorite writing.
The thing that I sometimes found odd is not that there are silly little characters, because every book has and needs them. It's more the way SRD names some and not others. For some amazingly odd reason, Alba Parmute (Data third then Data second, Captain's Fancy) has a first and last name, but Captain's Fancy's Helm first doesn't get either. Why does Malda Verone (Targ first, Captain's Fancy) get a last name when Carmel and Lind (Scan first and Communications first repsectively, Captain's Fancy) don't? Alesha Hardaway (Targ first, Free Lunch even gets a last name, but UMCPHQ Chief of Security Manditch doesn't. It's just quite odd sometimes.
