I thought the original Faery Grandmother/ Godmother/ Lady Of The Desk had more of a doom/destiny/purifying air about her. IMO, Anodos was in for it, from day one.
Okay, perhaps I was splitting hairs. The problem, then, is that he both dies and returns. That, I guess, is what I really find to be the failure in the book. You can't have it both ways in Faery, right?
