    Summary

    The White Tower is designed like tapestry. The individual halls and chambers make no sense until visualized as aesthetically pleasing plots of color. The halls waltzed you around whoever you were trying to avoid or find in long, stately sweeps instead of depositing you at efficient right angles into a room convenient enough to escape into—and then half an hour later, lost halfway up some forsaken staircase, you’d glance down and understand that the entire thing had been laid out to form say, a graceful fan of ogees around a single toilet, all visible only from above.

    (At the end of the Third Age, two girls come to the White Tower, one leaves in disgrace and one in glory, and the Wheel weaves them together in between.)

    Summary

    Rey certainly never expected to become the sole inheritor of her caretaker's farm and lands, but then the Reverend Luke Skywalker was always known as something of an eccentric. After a life of belonging nowhere, and of being a nobody, it is a welcomed change.

    The sudden reappearance of Luke's purportedly long-dead nephew is a slightly less gladdening development, by comparison, but Rey could at least use an extra pair of hands for the winter.

    As for the rest of the man, she will have to find out.

    Summary

    “I know I'm no doohickey whiz,” says Jane, steepling her fingertips in her lap. “But if you're such a crack techno-gal—haven't you ever thought about trying to hack the collar?” She doesn't say, I'd help. She's not sure that she would, ashamed as she is to think it. In another month, maybe, or two—but there's something to be said for insurance.

    Or: how an ex-revolutionary teenager gets sent to serve as bodyguard to the Crockercorp heiress, and stuff goes with alacrity to crap.
