Reflection 9

Great Moments from book 3

-There's some serious tension when Phee uncovers the Doll that Sam brought home for their little sister. I think the Dolls are  manifested reflections, forms taken on by whatever's mucking about Saturn's moons. There's also a bit where phee goes to pick up said Doll and it smiles. With some nasty teeth.

-There's an epic save when Jamie Mcrimmon dashes across the ice moon and uses the low gravity to vault over a crater to save Phee from the geysers. You'd think that it would lose its effect because it's a lot of text for the short amount of time that it describes, but the language used to describe it pulls it off quite well. You should read it.

-The last great moment I'll list here is when The Doctor, Zoe, and Luis find the half-doll half-human body in the wreckage of the tractor explosion. There's really good detail with the body, how the blue flesh is composed, as well as some good Holmsian logic.
