Love Openbound dearly -- I think the matter of having characters limited to 1 page appearances brought a density out of Hussie's writing that we don't always see when xe has the liberty to stretch characterization over broader stretches of story. Also eternally grateful to Aradia referring to "time" as "a figure of speech" and then doing the double-pistols-and-a-wink... wonderful little joke about "English" that helped me a lot
