![]() ![]() ![]() Aristide has found safe haven abroad as an actor, but as much as he’d like, he cannot forget or completely walk away from what he has fled. By the start of Armistice, Cordelia now leads in exile an armed opposition to the Ospies. For example, by the close of Amberlough the three protagonists (Cyril, Aristide, and Cordelia) are forced to flee the Ospie rise or stay to face its oppression with imprisonment or worse. Instead, they do a great deal off-stage and then she shows us how they respond to and survive the new situations they find themselves in as a result. This generates a thematic impression where Donnelly is not directly showing us how her characters are changing the world. ![]() The starts of Armistice and Amnesty are also marked by time jumps where significant developments in the characters and their socio-political situation have happened off-stage. As the series progresses following the Nazi-like rise of the Ospies in Amberlough, the plot and action don’t develop as one might expect, diverging from parallels to German history and the onset of a world war. ![]()
