LOL
Well, *I* think the Neighbors *are* at least some of the trees, so there ya are. And the Rajan did refer to the trees as "sleepy" which is what you'd expect from dream-travelers. IIRC someone claimed the Rajan's staff made from a vine  was an inhumi and that the Rajan talked to it. So it gets worse. It's easy for me to imagine how the Neighbors could be trees. It's impossible for me to see how the inhumi could be vines. But the second is more plainly stated than the first. I don't really understand how all that fits together.

I don't think a tree ate Horn. I have my own despicable explanation for what happened in the pit.

Well, there's this metaphor that I noted in "The Book of the Long Sun" that befuddled me for a long time. And Hy as Fava resolved that riddle. So maybe you'll like this. I'm not sure Hy being Fava reveals *in itself* anything thematically about Silk or the Rajan. But isn't Hy an important enough character to warrant her own thematic vehicles? Although it does fit nicely with the little play of Silk and Hyacinth as Simon Magus and Helena, it is hardly necessary to it.
