Hi! I’m doing Kerth reading, so here I am trying to leave comments when I can!
I really enjoyed this trilogy! My favorite parts were 1 and 3, for sure! You have some really great insights on the characters. And of course, who doesn’t love the whole premise of them actually kissing when she’s over at his house hiding from The Prankster?? It was really interesting to see the arc of episodes through this new lens of them being in a relationship. And the revelation was really good!
Here’s one of my favorite lines:
If all of her previous relationships had turned into federal disasters, what would she classify this one? Superman wasn’t from Earth, would it be a galactic disaster? Where was Krypton? If it wasn’t in their own galaxy, could it be a universal disaster?
Poor Lois!!
And I loved this bit of introspection:
Feeling more relaxed now the storm of tears and anger had passed, the aspirin taking care of her headache, she pulled the blanket draped over the back of the couch over her, still staring at the window. With a growing feeling of dread, she recalled the night Superman had flown through that window, at her request, as she had told him she’d loved him, and would love him, even if he was an ordinary man. She felt queasy as she finally understood the haunted look on his face, the harsh words he had spoken making sense now. He couldn’t believe her because she had just turned down the ordinary man.
Thoroughly chagrinned at that memory, she tossed the blanket aside, and began to pace around the living room, reliving the encounters she could remember, where she had either compared Clark unfavourably to Superman, or fawned all over Superman, while ignoring Clark. It was an embarrassing trip down that memory lane, and while she still felt anger over his deception, she also felt mystified as to why Clark would want her, when she had been so cruel to him.
He was an enigma, far more complicated than the farm boy from Kansas she had pegged him for that first day they worked together.
Thanks for the waffy/fluffy read!
