While reading ACI there were places that felt reminiscent of Magician eg the
Hal meeting and escaping with the princess. Is it just me or did anyone else
feel the same way.
Note - This is not a criticism ( I loved ACI) and it is most definitely not a
retelling of Magician but rather it some ways it is like the saga is coming
full circle.
There are only so many plot devices, and in 30 books a couple of them are going
to get reused. It's funny, but it wasn't until after I finished Kingdom
Besieged I realized I had done the Siege of Crydee before, in Magician.
Sometimes you get so deeply into the mechanics of writing a scene you lose the
bigger context. Arutha won, Martin didn't, but both serviced their purposes.

And here I thought it was intentional, bringing things full circle as
it was. I was definitely reminded of Arutha and Anita - just took it
as foreshadowing. (You're too good to not remember the similarities
Ray).
To quote Harrison Ford, "It's not the age, it's the mileage."

It's the detours.
