Action Sequence

Action Sequence

The fan-coined term for the sequence of three chapters in Book 7, where the Three Foolish Children were forced to converse solely in verbs to escape the attention of the NightLairds. Brahe's love of linguistic wordplay was developed further in the Sequence.

The Action Sequence is not especially popular with many literary figures, who point to inconsistencies in Brahe's verbal schematic and laboured dialogue as flaws. Fans, however, are more forgiving of Brahe's authorial quirks, and many have tried to emulate the Sequence in fanfiction with varying degrees of success.
