Did not make that connection the first read through.

I'm most of the way through No Good Dragon Goes Unpunished and I think I've decided what ticks me off the most about Myron Rollins!

It's that right along with freaking out about the mess made by Ghost and Marci's breakout (fair, that has to have looked scary from the outside) he's looking at the Reclamation Land and going "a wonder. A beautiful, untouched land of primordial spirits like nothing else on earth" and then later "You're making something extraordinary here"

and what he's looking at is a power-gathering setup fuelled by two mass murders (that we know about! At least! And he knows about both of them at this point!) and that has already been used as a WMD once (and he saw that on live TV!)

but it's clean and pretty and apparently in his eyes that means it's good.

Like.

That is comically shallow for a supposedly genius scholar of magic.

I've never contemplated what it would look like to have a charact whose villainous motivation is apparently (partly) romanticising pretty pastoral scenes??
