- Am astounded at the breadth of Wurts' plotting - and that revealed by her characters.
- Lysaer is becoming Mr Devious. Totally huge pity it's not completely working out for him.
- Kevor is a great character.
- Ellaine really annoyed me at first, but her character development was great.
- Dame Dawr = love, love, love.
- Mearne's plot was a little too obvious. I suppose not everyone can be Arithon, or, in fact, Morriel.
- Poor Asandir.
- Davien is well cool. Although I tire a little of the constant references made to Sethvir's attempts to contact him. Looking forward to more Davien in the next book.
- Only just noticed that Wurts likes to remind everyone of things that happened in the past - Tal Quorin, Vastmark, etc - and that gets a little annoying.
- Had forgotten the details of Morriel's scheme. That was rather neat.
- That old lady in Jaelot was lovely and heartbreaking.
- Fionn Areth is pretty slow on the uptake. "I'm wearing the face of the Spinner of Darkness but I'm going to join the Alliance anyway. They won't mind!" Silly boy.

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped.

It is possible for an American not to sell well in her own country. *NM*

I bought that a couple of weeks ago, hence the reread. I hope it's better than Traitor's Knot *NM*

Also: is it just me, or is Wurts really rubbish at writing about sex?
