Ok so here's a quick one, we all know that a major feature (and for me a major draw) of the FDO's novels is that all the characters are up for death, you don't really know who's going to make it out the other end alive. It occurs to me that the GFL series is, so far, about the legend Quentin Barnes. Is it just possible that he is the only 'safe' character in the FDO's universe? I kind of hope so because I honestly say I will weep when he appears in the deaths column (I've really connected with the struggles of his character).
