Will he be found? I think that Dair should lose near everything trying to find him, and then not find him. (but that's just my morbid love of tragedy poking through)

I think because Dairine couldn't find him in that Timeheart-y space he's still around--and he's far too intriguing a character for him to be gone for good!

But that could just be my optimism and love of Roshaun speaking.

I don't want him to be dead...that's my love of romance and, you know, HAPPY ENDINGS getting through? I think main charactors are tortured enough in their day to day lives....The least any author can do (Or at least, the least i can do for my charactors) is to let them have a little bit of love every once in a while...Help to make up for all the torment they have to go through.

Fred Shinkokami, from Abarat, huh?

How many fandoms can you get into one identifier? :-) I recognize Princess Shinkokami from the "Protector of the Small" books, Fred is pretty obvious here, and I have to get around to reading Abarat sometime.

Kizzy: love your sig quote. On my blog a while back, I posted this story:
quote:
Walking up the hill from Bothell Landing tonight, I heard Ael saying behind me, “Ow, ow, ow…” Looking back over my shoulder, I said, “Define ‘ow’.“

Without missing a beat, she said, “Oh God, oh God, I’m gonna die?”

Ok, I'm done overreacting now.Big Grin

Isn't there already a topic for this, anyway? Or not? I can't remember...

Wasn't that a little hard to type?

Anyway, I hope Dairine finds Roshaun, but I don't think she will. I think that since she got his sunstone (I think that's what it was called) she has to take his place. Sad, though.

Ha! Yes, it was a little hard to type, but I wanted to put Fred's whole name. I was having an insane moment...

Plus, I totally love that statement. It's so logical!

I think that Dari'll keep his sunstone until she finds him, and then give it back to him, or they'll use it together.

*laughs dryly* I always love to think the best of authors, but I have to accept that it's possible us fans of him will be disappointed and he'll end up being gone, or something will happen that'll make him have to go.

but I will continue to be the romantic at heart that I am, and think that Dari deserves her happy-ending too. He was just getting bearable, even - gasp! - likable. Wink Besides, I can't imagine such a character with an intriguing past and personality just being gone like that. Or maybe I'm just going through the steps of denial. Isn't the first one denial, then pleading, then anger or something? Big Grin

If he were dead, DD wouldn't have spent all that time establishing that he might not be. Wink He's coming back. The question will be who and what he is when he returns.

Now. I know that Dair checked Timehearty...
But would he be in her manual? Or is that just for earth wizards wizards on her planet...


KizzyShima, "Timeheart-y space"... I am reminded of the Doctor Who episode Blink, when The Doctor says something like... "a big ball of timey-whimey-spacey kind of thingie..." I love David Tennent as The Doctor...

Daylily: I think the manual is for all wizards... I'm not really sure. I think it might be for wizards _in_ Earth?

I was crushed when I saw that Roshaun disappeared. Just when Dair and Roshaun were getting close!!! Ah, frustrating... Haha.

Doctor Who!! Ah I love David Tennent!

I agree. Tennent is nearly as good as Tom Baker when it comes to Doctors.
And, seriosly, Roshaun is not dead. If he was, wouldn't DD have confirmed it more? Really, Roshaun just disappeered. Thre was no dust, or ashes. If he was dead, DD wouold of well, confirmed it, wouldnt she?

I am one of those optimistic that authors are good types. I think that first, DD would not cause uneccessary pain (though of course I think Roshaun being gone would be unneccessary). Second, DD definately would have made it clear that Roshaun was gone (and not provided the Timeheart thing). Third, Roshaun is an interesting, captivating character - why would she get rid of him when he has so much oportunity?

I am fully convinced that he'll come back or in some way not be totally gone.

Wow Fred, that is a bit morbid and why would you want that to happen? If it was you...

I agree. Roshaun was just getting likable, and anyway, he a lot more potential than to just disappear. Plus, I was for Dairine and Roshaun since the end of WH. I wonder what happened on the moon in WH though... Confused
