Finally!

Thanks to our in-depth discussions of Cion, I finally understand what is happening in the first 3 pages. I'm not sure if he meant for that to be as ambiguos as it was or not. I'm thinking now, that if he did, that is pretty cool. Since I didn't understand what or who the sciolist was the first 3 pages I was lost. Our discussion really helped me to understand what was going on. I agree with Sherrie that a re-read of this book is an excellent idea!
