KK and Twelfth Night - Childe Morgan mentioned, no spoiler..

Hi all,

Long time no, er, type, I guess.

My delighted discovery of Childe Morgan at Borders last week prompted a
re-read of "ITKS" and I am now nearly finished (sadly) with "CM."

I was struck, repeatedly in both books, with the number of horribly
tragic events that seem to occur just before Twelfth Night! Holy cow,
that seems to have been a difficult time of year, especially in ITKS.
It got to the point where I would dread that time of year in either
book, simply afraid of another character coming to dire consequences.

Just my observation. Another thought I had: did anyone else find it
difficult to read of each birth of Donal's children, knowing-as we do
from having loved the prior books so much-the fate of each?

Hi Polly,

Welcome back. If you used to be Ayedrum, I remember you from days of
yore. =o) If not, well, welcome anyway. Yes things do seem to get a
little grim at the holidays in Gwynedd. Maybe they should all have gone
on a tropical vacation, instead. At least we know Brion and Nigel
survive!
