Talk:Ladies of the Wood/@comment-155.70.23.45-20150609174620/@comment-25391611-20150622134446

I think the book was written in a way to deceive who reads it into thinking the daughters are actually good and the mother is evil, i think that the Ladies of the Wood are at least as evil as their mother, in fact freeing the Lady of the Wood is like starting a fire in the right moment to kill another blaze.. If ou follow me is an evil that could fights the ladies of the wood one.. And since the "mother" (actually She-Who-Knows is the only document that states that the spirit of the Whispering Hillock is the Ladies' mother) frees the kids she isn't that bad maybe.. maybe their ritual to eat the kids is to maintain at least a part of their power, so freeing the kids is in order to lessen their power, and killing the whole Downwarren village isn't meant to be a deranged act but it's done to end the Trail of Treats ritual..

However i'm horrified by the statements of some people here who is snobbing the rescue of the kids, since kids are the symbol of purity.. The whole downwarren village sacrifice body parts (think about the ears, used by the hags to ear everything in the swamp) and maybe suspect the people young and not who is going to the Ladies is going to die since no one ever see them again.. But they prefer looking away and believe the hags lies, and so I think that the less regrettable thing is to save the kids.. They have the hope to grow better and live a better life
