I love how Karsa as a barbarian himself is able to recognise the falsehoods of civility in aspects of civilisation. What happened to felisin younger was known by all within the whirlwind, it was at all points esily preventable. But all powers stood still as inhumane acts were commited, not just to her, but to a multitude of young girls. I just find it something that can be seen across history and today, and it's an aspect of HoC that really hit home with me. I remember reading on someone's argument that Human rights are a faliure, and one point was on how so often we see goverments cry out against abuses of human rights depending on one's own cultural beliefs to only totally negate human rights in doing so. It is a toxic cycle in which powers revolve around. HoC is often considered one of the lower books in the series but it really resonated with me when reading it
That’s powerful that that hit for you, as felisin hit for me in dead house gates as a survivor of abuse myself that story line resonates with me a lot and some of the hate she got as a character I understood but have to place the counter opinion that trauma manifests in different ways, and you are correct in the neglect of human rights.
The Whirlwind Goddess was the wife of Onrack. She got vengeful and mad because Onrack painted someone else and that woman is Tool’s sister, Kilava. The Whirlwind became jealous, vengeful, and wanted to destroy everything. That’s the Onrack, Trull, and Whirlwind storyline. House of Chains is more metaphorical in the sense that death is the only way to get away from the chains of family - enter Felisin Paran’s storyline. 😢
No Bob, I’m retelling them to her in my words because she’s on the spectrum so these are too fussy for her, but she’s in love with the characters along with me and loves to hear the next exert.
@@throughthepages_with_dee Ah that is awesome, I am glad she can enjoy the books alongside you! As an icebreaker when my dad takes me hiking in scotland I just start by saying "So I've been reading a book called memories of ice" then I proceed to spend about 2 hours going through all the events of the book and everything. So basically... my icebreaker turns into me just pouring out random info which my dad has to suffer through haha
@@bobbob-cd9yl That’s awesome! Books are a great conversation starter & that’s amazing you share that with your dad, those are memories you’ll keep forever and they make a book mean more. I do that all the time, and successfully have convinced people to read something I’ve just spent an hour gushing over 😂
