I hear Rian's gonna go throwing about themes of the old ways being in decline, portraying heroes who do stupid things and leaders who mess up, claiming you don't have to be a Chosen One to save the day, and letting characters achieve victory only at great personal sacrifice. I mean, pffft, I dunno what kind of Tolkien he's been reading.

At least we can hope he won't go putting in anything silly, like Hobbits thinking fireworks are real dragons, or folks bursting into comic songs at the drop of a hat. That would just be too outlandish.

(And hey, you're from San Seriffe? Cool! I went there once, looking for the local Bigfoot legend, Typ-Ogres. Didn't find any, but had a great time rambling through the forests on Caissa Superiore.)
