Excellent points DinosaurSr (great name too).
Original. I agree with Brice, just pretend it never was revised.
it's the Calla-speak that most seems forced to me. I'll grant that if you'd never read the series and started with the revised it wouldn't be noticeable, but if, like many of us, you read the...
i think whether they were necessary is subjective. it seems for the most part the attempted purpose of the revisions is to make the first book more cohesive with the rest of them, particularly the...
