(click to show/hide) So the Svartelves will accept a blood relative of Thomas’ to kill instead of Thomas? Here comes Ebenezer’s big sacrificial moment and voila, Harry inherits the Blackstaff. Cue another power up.

I have a better idea: why not give them (click to show/hide)Lord Raith as a sacrifice? Ok, the political consequences are beyond my imagination, but maybe this would be for the benefit of both Thomas and Lara.

That is my Option B, however …
(click to show/hide) I feel that Lord Raith still has a sneaky role to play in this series. But if he starts to get lots of mentions by half way through this book he may become the No.1 candidate. Lara is Option C, and it would give Harry an out from the proposed marriage, but she doesn’t strike me as being very self-sacrificing. Ebenezer’s secrets are out. Harry knows he’s his grandfather. Eb now knows about Thomas. Time to go, plus Harry needs a power up.

People are still having problems. A lot of the rebuilding for the poor was done with materials that had never been used before in a hot and humid environment. Problems started almost immediately. The population was still more than 20% lower than it was before Katrina.
Galveston Texas hasn't recovered from the Storm of 1900. Houston took over as the leading port in the area.
GreenMysticalUnicorn:
That's so interesting and sad to know people in that area are still struggling. Why use materials in climates that haven't been used before? Insane.

Committees and politics. Think personal or departmental rivalry politics, not partisan politics. The sort of thing that happens when a group of people are spending another groups money for a third group, and the only group with much say so is the group spending the money and they want to try out all their "great" ideas.
I knew the designs would be bad aesthetically before I saw the first one. I never considered that the architects didn't know what materials to use.
