seriously. this is why i don't read much in the way of adult fantasy anymore. i hit a wall-- i just can't take the poor, orphaned farm boy saving the world for one more second. as a culture, we have to have better ideas than this, and yet.

yep, there's another one, orphans are so good at saving the world, especially when they're 16 year old boys.

sigh.

have you read any ellen kushner?
