I was wondering if the Kakureta Kao Seer's vision in By the Sword was fulfilled. Wasn't the child supposed to wield the sword? I had to look up the exact wording: "The blade and the child are together now and will be again in the future". I guess they were definitely together, at least for a while.
Well, time to start the second reading of The Dark..., then in keeping with my routine, I go back to The Tomb and read the whole series again. Kind of puts everything all together for the full effect.
You really only need three things: WD-40, Duct Tape, and a pointy stick. If it's supposed to move and doesn't, use the WD-40. If it moves and isn't supposed to, use the Duct Tape. If you want it to move and it doesn't want to, use the pointy stick. The rest of life is easy.
