Yes, I think reading this thread in retrospect is pretty much a headache, as a lot of it is griping before the book came out without any idea of the context. Not until recently, when we're more certain that Frost is playing with certain elements of history, can our discussion about the discrepancies feel useful. Even in the days after the book's release, a lot of the complaining was understandable but it's hard to appreciate that in hindsight.wAtChLaR wrote:had to skip to the last few pages...so much disappointment about the books gaffes or whatever you want to call them
THE BOOK IS AMAZING
I think once we started compiling a list of discrepancies (check out the spreadsheet), that's when the discussion becomes more helpful.
You should also listen to the most recent episode of the Red Room podcast; I think that's key to uncovering what's going on with the book, without giving any real narrative answers.
