In a discussion of the Chalion books, [livejournal.com profile] amberfox mentioned that she didn't like Hallowed Hunt because the Son wasn't as present as the gods were in the previous two books. That made me think of the gods treating the saints as their pets:

The Bastard meddles with his all the time.

The Daughter tucks hers into a basket and watches over them.

The Son throws a stick and says "Fetch!"

Oh, that's great! Now, how are the Father and Mother going to treat their saints?

"Spare the rod, spoil the saint"

Wait, that'd be Laurel K Hamilton.

Up to Lois . . . but I can't help imagining the Mother saying "No, I'm fine, you don't have to save the universe from destruction, I'll just sit her in oblivion."
