Why Can't Eb Just Be Honest With Harry?

--- Quote from: Arjan on July 21, 2020, 07:27:25 PM ---The right way would have been to join Harry on the boat and have a chat but Harry had three monsters on board and his free will was compromised by Lara. You can not expect Ebenezer to go on board under these circumstances.
Freydis chose exactly the right illusion to make everything worse.

Oh no, that conversation needed to happen way before this, and Harry has known all along how
Eb felt..
--- Quote ---He had a dinner with Maggie, some vampires, and probably some others. We've been through this.

Which is weird when you think of that, Eb said it was something else besides Raith killing Margaret. Well, if he felt that way, how could he have dinner with them?

But Eb is difficult to talk with especially if he feels strongly about something. And it was not his secret to reveal, not his alone.

Because Raith had not yet killed her?

What Arjan said plus we don't know when or what the something else was. Just to clarify, it was in addition to killing his daughter.
Bad Alias:
After clicking "post," it occurred to me that his explosive behavior at that dinner seems to suggest that Eb was acting in character in this book. I bring it up because a lot of people say he was acting out of character. I didn't really see that, myself.

It was in character, he behaves like that in Changes, but more extreme. Already in the sample chapters he shows a lack of control that is greater than it used to be.
What is surprising is not his feelings and opinions about it and not even his reaction but his lack of control while doing so.
