Some thoughts
In my opinion, the third book is the strongest part of BSR, even if it's not the tightest. The Master may not exactly be very exciting, but nonetheless - I like this part best. What's your favourite part/chapter?
The third part is also where you really have to acknowledge the slashiness - the subtext grows stronger and stronger, and the imagery gets more and more erotic, and it's just there, isn't it?
Btw, it's quite amazing how much foreshadowing there is in this book for what's to come, isn't it? Even Calesta, who seems like nothing more than the Master's pet demon at first - Gerald certainly takes him for that when Calesta approaches him in the epilogue, but already we're getting the hint that there's more going on.
Some of us have talked about this, but I keep wondering - even in full health, it took quite a lot out of the Hunter to cross the Canopy when they first got into the rakhlands. How the hell did he even make it back, to then recover in the Forest? Any thoughts?
And if you remember reading the books for the first time - were you surprised when Ciani vanished from the narrative at the end of this book, but Hesseth stayed?
Finally, considering the three parts of the book as a whole, how well do they hold together? The first part is rather separate from the other two, after all. What do you think?
And of course here's also where you can jump in and discuss anything and everything you've been wanting to discuss, but never quite found the right time. :-)
