First let me say that I am doing a pitiful job on my re-read. I am still very early into it, but something good that has come out of that is rediscovering the early books.
Anyway, the question that occurred to me concerns the Tinkers. They are much more significant early on than I remember. Do you think they still have an important role to play, or do you think they have played their part and there is no time for them?
Thanks.
