The Hollows/Fridge: Difference between revisions

== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ==

* I couldn't get into the Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison for ages due to not being able to identify with any of the characters, especially Rachel herself. A lightbulb moment occurred when I realized that witches in that universe have a maximum natural lifespan of 150 years or so, compared to 100 years for humans. So even though Rachel is 24 years old at the start of the first book and is physically matured to that age, she is ''emotionally'' 2/3 that age, or about 16. All of her choices in the first five books in the series are made by an impetuous teenager and it isn't until the sixth book or so (two years later in the timeline, when she's almost 26 physically and therefore almost 18 emotionally/mentally) that she starts fighting her immature impulses and acting like an adult. Because she's only just now ''becoming'' an adult in her mental development! - [[Abstruse]]
