And Conclave concludes with a bang

Chapter 11 is posted.  I've not heard from a number of usual readers about the last chapter and I have lots to say about visuals and such, but for now,  here it is, and I hope you'll share your thoughts.

I wanted to share this, courtesy of Syrena, La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia, the Silk Exchange in Valencia, which she thought was rather like the conference room and the Bankers' Counting House and I agree.

 



Thanks so much for being so supportive.

Hmm, food for thought. I think I would land in the camp that believes that no, it was not common knowledge that Edmund had betrayed his siblings. One could make the common argument that not everyone was an upstanding citizen prior to the Witch's fall (Tumnus, anyone?) If that's the case, even the mildest of traitors could be considered more or less victims of fear. Here comes a little boy deposited at their feet, saved by Aslan, and they quickly embraced him just as much as they did his siblings.

For that matter, it's possible that his own siblings don't know the extent of what Edmund ratted to Jadis:

"Here is your brother," he said, "and -- there is no need to talk to him about what is past."

If they don't know what's all happened, what he exactly said or did, who else did?

My overdue review... I've been caught up in work, and, actually, working on a fic for the exchange. Eep! But considering I've been reading so much, it's time to give back, even if it's been a decade since I've written anything of the sort.

Loved it! The drama! The choreographed entrance! The costumes! And of course, Edmund's grandest line! Why yes, I did punch the air and scream into a pillow when he revealed himself. Oh, how I love the theater.

It's fantastic you brought Susan in, for I admit that I don't have a grasp on what your Susan in Narnia is like as much as I do of her in TSG. And Susan and Edmund working together is dangerous and exciting -- I just love their relationship.

Thank you and congrats this chapter!
