"No Solitude For the Patient significantly boosts the pace, and is reminscent of the high-quality writing featured in C1. Now that the world and main characters have been introduced and covered in sufficient detail the ball has clearly begun rolling, as in actually rolling... ...as opposed to stopping and starting as it had done previously. Eric is a great character and his past, while running the risk of being cliche, is handled nicely. This chapter also makes clear the timeframe of some events in previous chapters, such as the horrible situation Jai has found himself in and why Eric is needed.
However, the lack of Treale is disappointing, if only because C4 so revolved around him, with an ending that suggested he would go on to become a subject of much debate or importance throughout the succeeding chapters. Actually C4 is the most confusing chapter when compared to the other four: it is mostly in flashback, and the events that happen involving Treefingers are not particularly clear... who is Treefingers exactly? Why has Marie put everyone in danger? How is their arrival a sign?"
So, yes. I'm elated. ^^ Get it? Elations? For elated? HUR HUR HUR HUR.
