" Linden Avery's fate may indeed have been written in water." Thus begins TLD. Water is everywhere in TLD. Even when on dry hard land there is mention of some one going for water. Water water water. A tsunami ended AATE and the first line of TLD is wet.
What is up with all the splish? There is an answer in Surrealism. The god father of surrealism put it this way;" Man is Soluble"..Man changes as the environment around him changes. Man dissolves into the immediate environment. Man Changes. Take a Yankee to Memphis for a few years and he will be saying "y'all. ". Man changes,,is able to change,,as the environment around him changes Man accommodates.. Man dissolves into his surrounding like a Alka Seltzer dissolves in water. ..
Avery's fate writ in water hints at the changes and Linden's ability and willingness to change ,and make the changes, she needs to make to be part of the environment around her...Water is the metaphor for change, adapting, accommodating, adjusting etc.
It then appears that TLD is about those changes Linden and Jeremiah and even TC make,,to create a new future,,rather than repeat the past. When creating a future, Hope and Love are necessary , otherwise one is just repeating the past. Linden makes the necessary change of ..trusting Love..with the future. The Last Dark,,becomes the unknown Future, trusted to Love.
At the detail level,,the author takes us from a tsunamic ocean, stormed heavens to clear streams to stanky Lifeswallower to the Sarangrave to Defiles Course choking stench and even to the Vile's Palace of Water with a Fountain frozen in time . He even kills the skurj with the foul drainage of Mt Thunders interior warrens. Suicide by Septic Tank. Water is of every kind . Lindens choices leave her looking for better choices to deal with the every kind. Help. I'm sure I haven't caught all the alludes to water so feel free to add your observations.
But the author kept his word. Avery's fate was writ in water. She washed herself clean of her old self and dissolved herself into a future that trusted Love.
