I should have been more clear; my intention was to observe that I thought it was the Angrezi Raj, rather than the Angrezevi Raj.LordInsanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000895280655907241.post-47955484644792181712011-04-24T20:35:16.201-04:002011-04-24T20:35:16.201-04:00It does.

My argument was that the "Angrezi Raj" was a better "relocated Britain" than the Equatorial Empire, since it actually acknowledged their British heritage, even though the Hindi name showed its Indianization.<br /><br />Senator Clark does reflect on his capture of St. Louis from the vampires and how it made his legend despite the fact the vampires eventually took it back.<br /><br />However, there could be so much more. He doesn't need to brood on his past like some GrimDark figure, but some more about him--a father whose accomplishments he's trying to exceed, someone close to him killed by vampires he wants to avenge, etc.--would have been very nice.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691270309993277160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000895280655907241.post-17094333932613592852011-04-24T19:48:15.379-04:002011-04-24T19:48:15.379-04:00Hm...

I am not certain that being in his head makes it odder that we learn little of his background. After all, he might not think much on it (why would he need to, unless something relating to it happens?), and by a similar token, people will hardly be inclined to tell him about his background.<br />Although thinking of it, you might have meant simply that it is odd that we learn little of the background of a POV character.LordInsanenoreply@blogger.com
