So.... What about all the drama with the chick who stabbed herself? Guess she's fine now after the pill? The plot really is going all over the place more and more recently. Seems to be more concerned with scenes that have 'stink-eyes' and 'half-smiles.
It's really strange the author can't seem to find a coherent rhythm. Ever since the Black Pagoda which was essentially a super long staring contest, it's been kind of jumping all over the place.
