Have any of you who complain about Crokus in TtH ever left a place you call home only to come back later to find that, you know, things have moved on and you're not needed?Of course, it's the natural order of things, but for one person this kind of revelation is, well, it's kinda crushing and one starts to look for ways to ptove that yes, I still belong here, digging up old things the head should know will go nowhere but the heart refuses to acknowledge.. but ultimately this chase will bring nothing but pain.

And THAT is shown brilliantly in Crokus's storyline. It's not about coming of age, but about coming home and finding that it's not home anymore.


I agree with you, but when you compare Crokus's struggles to let's say Itkovian's or Toc the Younger's, you can see why I consider his problems pathetic. This is high fantasy, not The Catcher in the Rye.

Stone Cold Steve Austin, and that's the bottom line.
