If you ask me, which you are, mumpo is cool Cool

. in the first boook, yeah he was annoying, but you get to grow on him. of course like every1 kess was my favorite character but i find mumpo a very interesting person. Bowmans powers in the Slaves of th Mastery were absolutely awsome, and sisi's personality was verry different to everyone elses. So i find all the characters cool, and i had to come up with a name, and the chapter 'Mumpo fights the Manaxa' was cool so thats my name...[size=12][/size]

I'm not sure I liked the chapter 'Mumpo fights the Manaxa' much. I like Mumpo though, because he's so straightforward that there isn't any bad in him. I think there is something in the epilaughe of Firesong about still water that describes that, but I can't remember the quote.

One of my favourite chapters is the one where Ira wears a multicoloured costume that she makes from a beadspread and sits on the wind singer saying 'Oh unhappy people, the time has come to eat cream buns' and other things. I am still cross that they left that out of the tape, but apparently WN got a sore throat and they didn't have space or time for the whole story. Anyway, I'd better not start on that rant...

I like that chapter too! I think the way the author builds the tension, develops the charactors and makes the story flow by describing who the main charactors are looking at and what they are thinking is very effective. The gaze passes from one to another, eg.Zohon is watching Ortiz who is watching Kestral who's watching Mumpo and so on. It's really neat!

(NB. I've just noticed that it looks like I've changed my opinion on this chapter since February! My favourite chapter at the moment is "The Dying of the Last Fire" in Firesong)

I hated Ortiz untill I read Slaves of the M about the third time and finally twigged (with help from you lot) that he wasn't meant to be pure evil. I still don't like him that much, but I think he's a really interesting character. It's sad he died, but it was definitely necessary to the plot...
