BTS List - That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...

LJ - Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

From: (Anonymous) Date: 2010-07-01 01:36 pm (UTC)Her territory splits off from Dena Nehele - and various Warlord Princes all decide to join her territory rather than remain in Dena Nehele. It would have been more meaningful IMO if they had chosen that and were passionate of that purely on the basis of Karmila versus Cassidy or even just on the basis of Cassidy and them being Warlord Princes in need of a good Queen and not partially because of the money and added prosperity Cassidy could provide their lands independent of her own effort.
Er, sure they obey her orders, like ordering Ranon to play his lute. Or ordering that the old repressive laws were no longer in effect. What other orders were you thinking of? I don't remember her ordering them to do anything that they did not want to do or didn't agree to and them doing it. The closest I remember her coming is that incident with the Warlords and laden girl - and she didn't order them to interfere - she threw herself into the fight so that their interference was protection and not obedience.
I definitely felt she was more "acted on" than the "actor". It wasn't her plan to go to the Shalador village - Ranon convinced her while she was hysterical. It wasn't her plan to get the loan (as I remember). It wasn't her plan to have all the Warlord Princes join her. Etc. All the plans she had were frustrated by simple disagreement by Theran. She could have thrown him out of her Court for goodness sakes! Yes there wasn't another male who was "hers" but she could have chosen someone more agreeable at least. She could have ordered Theran to do what she wanted, period. But I don't remember her successfully "insisting" on anything in the books. No conflict resolution skills.
I liked the books and I liked Cassidy occasionally but I think to say that by the end of two books she had a real grip on her court is reading things into the books that weren't there. I don't even know that she got to know the Warlord Princes in her court - we still don't know anything about most of them.
