= Language[edit]

Originally we had a series of quotations, but an editor removed the section as too "random". Therefore I have provided a much shorter section showing the types of language employed.Evadeluge (talk) 14:33, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Synopsis[edit]

There is some argument about how to do a synopsis of a novel that is a cycle of short stories. In this case almost every chapter deals with different characters so I have done it by chapter, making the synopsis a little bit unwieldy and long. The alternative would be to list the characters and do a separate short synopsis, though there would not be much in it. Evadeluge (talk) 10:33, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
