I had hoped that Aulus managed to survive and escape Ala Mhigo, if only to lead more into the nature of the Resonants, but it doesn't shock me in any way they threw him away too. I'm liking the historical bits on Hingashi. The possibility of the descendants of Hingashi being refugees from post-calamity Allag is intriguing enough in its own right. The extra lore on RDM swordsmanship is also cool. Waiting on this computer to actually be able to load the remaining pages though...
