...of forgetting how to live without you.

"It is a foolish man who rages against what he cannot change," he said quietly.

"Muachi, right? The philosopher?"

"Right."

"You remember the day Father died, you told me about the Game? That was Muachi, too. The Game of Man and Woman."

"You said that you didn't know it," Ty replied, recalling it as if it was yesterday. "I said you wouldn't play by the rules if you did."

"That's right, I wouldn't play by the rules," she said. "But I never said I wouldn't play."

If you're a fan of Avatar, you liked the general idea of taking precepts from anime to tell a Western-style story, and you're wondering what on earth to do with yourself now that Avatar is *winces* over...

...why on earth aren't you reading Broken Sky by Chris Wooding yet?

They just re-released this old sweetheart of a series from my high school days in an omnibus edition, and I bought and re-read the first two this summer. Shades of Star Wars and Vision of Escaflowne before they both started to suck, if they had a child (and it somehow spiritually fathered Avatar).

A cracking good read, and it doesn't get nearly enough love. Check your libraries, or Amazon. And somebody drop a copy on Mike and Bryan's desks, if they're looking for their next project...

[Those up there are Ty, who is the best and sweetest bald two-toned killer-steampunk-powered-deathtrap-driving pacifist boyfriend ever, and Kia, who is a hundred and twenty pounds of pure awesome and makes Toph Bei Fong look jolly and merciful and Season 3 Katara look gentle and forgiving. Going in scraps soon because it is a scribbly mess, whee!]
