toolikethelightningI'm re-experiencing the books via the audio books for the first time, and have just made it to Chapter 19.
Such a massive collection of misdirection and forshadowing! And there are lots of bits of it that still aren't clear what point (if any) they have, but they are delightful just on their own. The whole discussion of the kitchen tree, and smelltracks (so many clues left there, not that we notice them).
And is the ba'sib Mycroft rescued a significant character, and if not, why were they mentioned?
Are there other bits from that chapter that struck you? Mention them in the comments!
