I thought it was a pretty significant story event--not as big as Nia's, of course, but significant nonetheless. And it's put her on what seems like a very definite track to reject her entire religion. Which means I'm not so sure about this:
I'm assuming that's a guess, and it's a reasonable one--and if it's been definitely stated by Runey somewhere, then I'll take it. But Autumn's encounter has her still believing in Gaius, but now seeing their scriptures and the church as a whole as purely human. And given that, she could start seeing the whole sexual ethic quite differently; she may not need the "technical virgin" thing by the time we get there.
Yep, easily my favorite.
Ashley's tough for me. This far along, it's easy to understand why she is the way she is, and to (to a large degree) sympathize with her. But I just don't like her that much. Better than I used to, yes. I don't want to hurt her. I even want to help her. But I don't want to be with her.
