used to be J K Rowling, for much the same reason: holy shit the intricate planning that went into these thought-they-were-throwaway details
Seanan does that for ALL HER WORLDS and it blows my mind. HOW???
that is the main driving force of the series
I like this thought a lot. I remember Seanan once saying the overarching theme of the series is loss (and that Newsflesh's is truth, but I don't remember if she offered the same identification about any of the others), but YES, the overall attitudes about the changelings and their role(s) and all, and the contrasts, is amazing and critical and I love it.
Evening's sister Dawn what about her
And Toby's sister...!!!
I like the idea someone mentioned on Seanan's LJ that Amandine's mother was Janet from Tam Lin, in some form (although I'm only passingly familiar with the actual story, so I know only its bones). If you haven't read through yet, there was some interesting stuff in the various comment threads on her open discussion post when the book came out.
