In the tenth chapter of Lifeboats<\/i>, Kit says goodbye. Intrigued? Then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time for Mark to read Young Wizards<\/i>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kit did it. KIT DID IT.<\/p>\n
I do appreciate his humility throughout this chapter. On the one hand, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simply hard to wrap your mind around the reality of what happened here. One single conversation\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand one story within that conversation\u00e2\u20ac\u201dstarted a cascade effect, one that spread throughout the symbiotic network of the sibiks, and which utterly changed this world. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s astounding. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also absurd<\/i>. And I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean that as a criticism! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just that change on this level\u00e2\u20ac\u201din such a magnificent scope\u00e2\u20ac\u201ddoesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t happen in a few days and because someone told a sad story, you know? It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not like this is something Kit could have been prepared for!<\/p>\n
But the results are still there, and Kit had an undeniable effect on the people of Teveral, so much so that the PLANETARY WIZARD said that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d tracked down the change TO KIT. Duane leaves no ambiguity here, and I love that. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why Kit tries to minimize what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s done! He can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just outright accept that his one act changed so many lives. Fifteen million, y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all!!! That is inconceivable to me! I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even imagine having an impact on that<\/i> many people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lives, you know?<\/p>\n
Still, I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite read for the goodbyes. Lifeboats<\/i>, while not over yet, has been quite a long novel, so I expected the end scenes to be comparable to the middle. But Kit packs up his stuff, leaves camp, bids goodbye to his two new friends, and readies for a jump to the Crossings in a very short span of time. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a tad jarring; Duane had settled comfortably into this narrative, and it just wrapped up in mere pages. Well, not entirely<\/i> wrapped up! There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still one thread that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been left dangling: What is Kit going to do for Nita on Valentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day??? I NEED TO KNOW.<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m gonna miss Cheleb and Djam, though. SO MUCH.<\/p>\n
