...yet I can say with confidence that if she fails, it will be through no fault of her own, but of those meant to protect her.

That is what I would like to avoid. No idea if it's possible at this point or not.

Counting only the resources that exist within Amber, it is possible. The difficulty lies in the will and whim of those who control, or are, those resources.

For the first time I feel really, honestly helpless to effect events. It is odd -- the entire time I have been in Amber I have felt like I could put my shoulder against things and grit my teeth and push but now I am losing that feeling. It's a combination of things, I suspect: my own problems in my head, a forced movement to the military I am not enjoying terribly much, my House's complete disinterest in anything, loss of status, Rose in Montevalno, etc. etc. etc.

I think it can all be worked around and it's a momentary blip, but I am not disagreeing with your sentiment in the slightest. The difficult lies in the will and whim of those who control, or are, those resources.

We are accustomed to standing at the far end of the lever that moves the world. As the fulcrum draws nearer, we become more aware of the weight set against us. The weight has not changed: our awareness and ease of response have.

Which is to say the feeling is understandable, but ultimately irrelevant. We'll cope. As always.
