Although I have not finished the series yet, I'd like to return to our topic of recurring themes. We had a topic for the first 5 books, so this topic will go through The Crippled God.

Extinction--of forests, of the fertility of the land, of animal species, of tribes and peoples, of races and sentient species, of worlds. Truly a commentary on our history and current habits of consumption.

Loyalty vs. betrayal.

Belonging vs. aloneness.

Judgement and righteousness vs. empathy and compassion.

When we lose, we win... and the opposite, when we win, we lose.

Who defines winning and losing? The winners? The losers? The bystanders? The survivors?
