Twiiiiillllliiiiiiiiiight in spaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

I am so indoctrinated in the slow pacing of this series, that even when gun-blazing action happens it seems like nothing much has occurred except the girl swooning ever so sweetly over the boy who swoons right back in his detached way. That's not to say it is boring or unpleasant; I'm in it for the long haul. And yet I wouldn't be displeased if it wrapped up in the next couple volumes or at least moved onto a new story arc.

p.s., And I'm still trying to work out the symbolism of the feet. At first it seems all female characters had pointing dainty feet as seen on the cover of this volume, and all male characters had big flat feet. But there are several instances this time of females who usually have dainty feet, having the big flat feet, and it seems to be tied to wearing pants maybe, which is perhaps a male thing in the author's mind? All the military females have flat feet all the time. But, no, the cover girl is wearing pants. It's not consistent with standing or sitting either. I will break this code someday!!!! ( )
