I mean, by this point in the story we know that Hugh loves Eleanor and he'll do anything to protect her - which means protecting her secrets from the King - which in turn could get him, her or both of them very, very dead. The confrontation scene is very good but I guess I wanted it to be more explosive? Given the life or death nature of the secret. <br /><br />One thing I did like though is that once the hero uncovers the secret he doesn't go charging into the mess to confront Eleanor. He sits back and waits. And she knows something is very wrong given the utter shift in his mood. It builds tension. I was SO ready for the confrontation when it does happen.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-81079915221267132132020-09-24T20:24:23.738-07:002020-09-24T20:24:23.738-07:00On Hugh's anger: isn't it interesting how ...On Hugh's anger: isn't it interesting how we demand a lot more consistency from our fiction than what happens in real life? I mean, I can see being incandescent with rage, then calm down (because sustaining that level of emotion is exhausting), then getting even angrier all over again when confronting the original cause of my anger. But we expect the character in our books to be more consistent with their emotions.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
