With some writers I'd say all the repetition of the Nice Message was part of a cunning plan to lull the reader into a state of smug complacency before killing everybody off - but I don't think Lackey has that level of subtlety.

(I know someone to whom I am reluctant to criticize the Vanyel books for similar reasons. They had consequences for people!)
