Flight of the Heron read-along: Part IV chapters 3-4

[regshoe]

Farewell even to our Scottish name, so famed in martial story...

Another pivotal set of chapters. It's all coming together now...

Next week we'll read Part IV chapters 5 and 6.

What I really appreciate about these chapters is that they just freaking talk over the problem and reconcile! At, like, almost the earliest possible opportunity (barring some hilarious ear-covering). We've all gnashed our teeth at Big Misunderstanding plots that could be resolved if the characters listened to each other for five minutes, so thank you, D.K. Broster, for not going there!

Indeed! It's lovely to see.

However, you don't need to manufacture a misunderstanding for your conflict when there's a whole war -- or at least its aftermath -- holding them apart...

Haha, that is a good point! An excellent combination of sensible talking out of things and emotional drama.
