I still can't quite get my head around Mesenda, I think because I always saw Sarge as a bit scary and I immediately wanted to squish Musenda.

The reader can see why Arram and Varice like him, but it's also made very clear that he's already more obsessive and unstable than they're willing to admit. <br /><br />A lot of the traits we see in the adult Numair are recognizable in young Arram, especially his insatiable curiosity about all things magical and scholarly (and now we know where he learned to juggle!). I'm looking forward to seeing him develop further into the character we know. I want to find out what happens with Musenda, too - I squeed when I realized who he was!Phoenixgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392428983425568425noreply@blogger.com
