Sometimes I Wish I Had Letters To Myself

Today’s gonna be a quick ramble as I’ve got lotsa Christmas stuff to get ready for and I’m strapped for time. With that in mind, I’m just gonna continue my re-read of The Rook and hopefully I’ll be able to throw out a more fully realized ramble tomorrow.

Letters to Myself

Today I got through Chapters 12 and 13 of The Rook and as usual, they were an exciting read.

Chapter 12 follows another letter that the previous occupant of Myfanwy’s body wrote out ahead of her memory wipe. It is quite a pivotal letter because it depicts the reasons why Thomas believed she was going to lose her memories.

These letters from Thomas to Myfanwy are a good way to see that quite a bit of Thomas’s abilities, beyond her control of others, were passed on. While Myfanwy doesn’t have the memories she does have the skill at research and the ability to assimilate information quickly to form a decisive course of action. And chapter 13 gives her the opportunity to exercise these skills as she attends meeting after meeting pushing the Checquy to better deal with the Grafter threat.

It’s a Wrap

Yeah…if I had letters to myself telling me about how I wouldn’t have time to take on as many projects as I do or maybe even telling me how to deal with the projects I have, I’d be pretty happy. Sometimes, like today, I find I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. But at least I was able to throw this post together.
