Coincidentally I've been looking at recent Texts a bit lately, and the 
need to help people and the difficulty of accepting help is a persistent 
theme.  Thus at the end of _Dzur_ Cawti practically taunts Vlad for 
getting rescued while rescuing her.  And Aliera's situation drives her 
friends to drink in _Iorich_.  And the theme of obligation which is so 
important after _Athyra_ reappears in _Tiassa_, especially at the very 
end, where it brings two people who ought to be friends nearly to blows.

Anyway if Aerich or Teldra were available to say, "This is how to do what 
you should do", I would follow that advice.

Incidetnally Lynch's _The Lies of Locke Lamora_ is a terrific read likely 
to appeal to everyone on this list.
