Notes on 'Cursing Doesn't Help'

I love this chapter.








Okay, I still have stuff to say about it. I love this chapter because, in two sentences, I've managed to convey Calysia's exasperation. The thing is, on reflection, I've realised that in two sentences I've also conveyed a sense of self-mockery along with her black humour... Wherein lies the problem: there's a distinct contrast between this almost good-natured barb and the pure venom of the rest. I think it may belong later on in the story.

Which is great, actually, because I've started to suspect it is the reason the link between the depiction of Wrathwrought in the previous chapter and his formal introduction in the following chapter is a tad weak. What-ho.
