Hey, does Kes have Asperger’s syndrome? I never thought of that, just of making her very introverted. It’s an interesting suggestion.
Plus, chalk one up in the “loves the names” column. Yay! I may never use such complicated names again because the people in that column are pretty thoroughly outnumbered.

I live in Silicon Valley which has been claimed to be Asperger’s central and she doesn’t strike me that way. Just an introverted thoughtful person. At least as a human, once she becomes fully a fire mage she’s rather different.
Interesting review. Maybe I’m not remembering correctly, because it’s been a while since I read “Lord of the Changing Wind,” but I don’t remember thinking Kes seemed super timid or passive… She just seemed very much herself, regardless of what society expected.
