Between this and The Haunted Refrain I'm not going to be playing my 78 rpm records.

I hope there'll be a last chance at the Big Finishmas sale items, but especially this one. It's such a wonderful story with so much to offer, from the obligatory phonograph record and the delightful tribute to Lela Swift, to the very appropriate "See there what they did with Greek mythology?" aspect of it - not to mention it may well be the first time in 120 years that Quentin has hooked up with someone who might actually be able to endure some of the events that go on around him.

Amanda Harris got to be a bit whiny in the end, but she was literally made to withstand many of the things Quentin does. She had a bit more of a backbone early on with Tim and Trask and whatnot. Plus I like the beauty of life intimating art or something like that... |

I personally still like to believe that Amanda is fully Quentin's equal with an equally magical portrait in her attic (especially with Tate's formidable powers as they appear in The Blind Painter and The Darkest Shadow), but the show did find another source to credit with her longevity, and if I recall correctly it also originally had her more or less go the way of Beth Chavez. Fingers crossed that Lela Collins doesn't ever end up like that, or like Jenny. |
