Aliroz-The-Confused

When my cousin gets a copy of Isles Of The Emberdark, the read will begin.  I will make a "Aliroz Reads Isles Of The Emberdark" (title not necessarily set in stone) thread for it (to post my reactions) in the spoiler zone, at which point the "So, There's No Hope" thread no longer serves a purpose, since the understanding I made it to express will no longer exist.  The point of view I have now will not exist.  I will know things that I don't now know, and thus my thoughts will come from a different context.

I hope the mods don't delete it or lock it or anything (I know many sites delete old threads); I put a lot of effort into it.

I imagine it will take a while to get through the book, so it'll probably be multiple "reactions for chapters blah blah blah through whatever" posts rather than one big one, and if it turns out that way please don't take that as an invitation to spoil chapters I haven't gotten to yet.
