Another login, another password, and a new avi to get. Sigh.
Well, here's what struck me on first read:
The whole Storm King/Euphrosynia story has been undermined. It's a popular myth, not the history.
The Muses are a bigger mystery than ever. Were I not already prepared, I would find footnote 42 creepy (pps 224-5). The synergy between them is also ... cosmic.
Now that we have Otilia in a somewhat more voluable state, we might learn something at a critical moment.
The Foglios have grown fond. Of sentence fragments. I hope some editor throws the whole pot of noodles at them--Hey, dot's verra good clam sauce!
We have a bit of new information about Zeetha, and a different tone on her when Agatha appears.
Lu's thought, in italics, on p 329 may tell us a bit more about the nature of The Other, or confirm some hypothesis.
And there's that remark, on p, 323, about Klaus's wife.
Since they are calling out the numbers on Moxana's Tarot deck, I wonder if we should be investigating them, either for a direct connection from the numbers or for the cards tradtionally associated with those numbers. (That we can probably more back to TVT; I don't think it would give away much.)
