I mean, yes, there are ways that his teen-ness plays out, but for the most part, Miles is Miles already. On the other hand, he does get to display a sort of exhilaration when things actually work that later Miles hardly ever gets to do. Of course, things rarely work so well for later Miles (perhaps on Dagoola). What&#8217;s particularly fun about this book is the way that everybody unconsciously helps Miles with his scam, wanting to believe what will work, even when Miles doesn&#8217;t come up with the right words or ideas. It&#8217;s an aspect of the Little Admiral that is not an aspect of Miles, now that Miles has put everything away. He is a grupp now, and although he still lies and schemes to get what he wants, he doesn&#8217;t run out over the edge of the canyon, and convince everyone to move the other side over to where he is.\n<p><I>chazak, chazak, v&#8217;nitchazek<\/I>,<br>-Vardibidian.\n<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, and I read The Warrior\u2019s Apprentice again.
