Ariashal's last words are so interesting: "I? I am evil? You would have me slay my husband, the father of my children, and I am evil?"
It is so easy to see the Witch-King as evil, but is he entirely evil? And are others less so? Of course there are a million examples of this in every day life and throughout history - but you have taken a situation and brought it to life. You do not make me question what is evil, but you make me look to see if the pot is calling the kettle black. And you do it without preaching or explaining what you meant or 'telling' me everything you have just stimulated me to think about. I love a good job of 'showing' and this chapter is doing that - but more imporatantly I see it growing throughout the story.
