Book five a failure?  Surely not.  It would be a failure if you wanted to
keep everything staic instead of dynamic.  Of course there is satire, and
yes, plenty of comedy.  You only have to look at the descriptions of and the
reactions to Cedric's death in Book 4 to see real pathos.  The thing is, you
just gotta love and care about most of the characters.  They're as real as
fantasy characters can get.  These folks are real as they can be to me--not
phisically, God knows I wouldn't meet them if I were strolling through a
mall somewhere, but in my heart, they are real, and that's kind of sad.  I
wish they were present in this reality.  June
