Always forget you have this thread set up, thought I’d finally contribute. Fair enough. Speaking of Reins, I read it shortly after finishing Bergman, but never reviewed because I wasn’t quite sure how to formulate my thoughts about it. I recall feeling quite detached from what was taking place, because the reader’s POV seemed purposefully drawn back from the characters – Lara in particular. Within Bergman it felt more...personal, I suppose? Like you were in the passenger’s seat rather than simply watching the car drive by, so I didn’t find myself rooting for anyone. Perhaps that was by design. Anyway, I am interested in how P&P plays out. There’s been some meaningful displays of overconfidence on Samus’ part so far, revolving around the idea of identity. She both hides behind and uses it to get attention. Of course, when you bring slavery into the mix identity is the core pillar one seeks to break and mould accordingly. I don’t think her current tormentor and potential future ‘owner’ will mind if the process isn’t so straightforward. I gather that means Ridley won’t be showing up then
