The way the Dark messes with the sword maker's head is a very accurate depicition of creative fears. #SilverOnTheTree

This hidden city/Atlantis place is reminding me of Piranesi. I wonder if Clarke had it in mind at all? #SilverOnTheTree

Bran is now having an attack of the "things I didn't know I knew", tapping into whatever part of himself is mythic. Also, Will realises that there's a literal fourth wall in this land, and all the world's a stage. #SilverOnTheTree

"This place doesn't mean ANYTHING" - something I feel a lot in the process of writing. I don't think this is supposed to be explicitly about writing, but it has that resonance for me. How you have to discover what things mean as you go along, both as a reader and a writer. #SilverOnTheTree

I loved the timeslip back to when it was a busy port - it seemed that the slip was conjured entirely via nostalgia, by the narration of what it was like there in the past. Made me think how real life stories are mythic too - the past before living memory. #SilverOnTheTree

Yet again I am reminded I am NOT suited to mystical heroism. So. Much. To. Remember. Crystal sword, gotcha, lost land, gotcha...the rest? All a vague mist to me. Is Jane going to remember all that without being an Old One? #SilverOnTheTree

Jane's encounter with The Lady is curious: they are "like and like". What connects them? And why does the Lady call her Juno and Iana? Is this an "I'm every woman it's all in me" deal? Are they linked by afflictions (black dog/old age)? #SilverOnTheTree
