Agreed on Renner. When I'd initially read the plot synopsis and brief character descriptions here and on Playlist, he sounded entirely inappropriate for the rule... now that I'm actually reading it, all I can see is how complimentary he'd be for it.
I haven't read the whole thing, but in the little bit I have, I'm immediately struck by the authority PTA has for the locations he provides. They seem so rich and expansive and absolutely perfect.
