Personally, I'm fascinated by RONIN. I don't like Y1, never have, though I don't find it as distasteful as DKR, which I couldn't finish. But even though RONIN seems, thematically, worst of all - the entire story (spoiler!) revolves around both the metaphorical and literal rape of the protagonist, which, in the end, she basically asserts as right and allies herself with both personally and philosophically - it's the one Miller story I genuinely like and totally get the *genius* with.

	The ronin wasn't, but despite the title and the misleading first act, it's Casey McKenna's story (especially by the climax, when she basically singlehandedly defeats Virgo and decides how she wants the story to end, with Billy in the catalyst/DiD role). (Reply to this) (Parent)
