hm. The two-books decision pissed off a lot of people, including me. I was just talking to a friend last night about this; I doubt he's interested in the "romance" of TSK, but I did get his attention with the world-building.
If one puts the two books together, the series (as I envision it, since books 3 and 4 aren't out yet) is:
1. Develop a romance, show the world as troubled and in need of fixing. The book shifts from romance over to trouble as the book continues. At the end, toss the hapless pair out into the world to go save it.
2. Set up the dialog between LW and farmer, all the while showing the troubles of the world as even more dire than we already knew.
3. With allies gathered in Book 2, Dag and Fawn *really* save the world this time.
