Does anyone else picture Folly as...
Serack:
Does any one else have Luna Lovegood meandering through their imagination playing the role of Folly? Here's a reaction to a particular line about her I wrote down when I read it.

--- Quote from: Chapter 52 ---Folly appeared among them, striding forward, flickers of light dancing along her candy-stripe hair, her eyes blazing.

I imagined Luna Lovegood in a whirlwind of power deciding it’s time to annihilate the bad guys.
WonderandAwe:
I got more of a River Tam vibe off of her. Luna Lovegood is quirky. River Tam is insane and dangerous, but well-meaning.

Her need to speak indirectly to most people around her was pure genius. Rowl is still my favorite PoV in the book.

EdgeDS:
Yes, I definitely thought of Luna a good bit whenever Folly came up.

I found it surprising after all the buildup, but the chapters from Rowl's POV were actually the ones I liked the least. They were good, of course, but I found that I really preferred seeing the cats' interactions with humans when not from the perspective of the cat. I think that I liked them being more inscrutable, which is easier to show from a different viewpoint.

Hmmm, I think I can see your point. Probably a lot of the enthusiasm for the kitty PoV is a bit of a result of people who really love the novelty of such a PoV's interpretation of their own experiences with the fuzzballs they love. Makes me wonder if too much of it might result in a collying sweetness for those readers.
I think I communicated that right...
