Oh, I'm just surprised one word can be that important

Clearly we have too many linguists here
That's why I didn't even post in Spanish what happens immediately following the quote I provided from near the end of the book.
I will note that this book fulfills in spades the promises set forth in Blood of the Elves and that the next volume, Baptism of Fire, is even better. Will start writing that review after I finish with some translation work I have to turn in this evening.

Not really, when that's the only complete translation available in a language I read

It's an interesting discussion about that title... "disdain" is indeed somewhat weak.

When I have time later tonight, I'll translate the relevant passage near the end of the book

The main reason why I lean toward "hatred" is later on

Yeah, there may be a slight difference between Czech and English meaning of the word

Hm. I'd actually say it makes me more inclined to think "contempt" is right after all.

I didn't quote what happened immediately afterward, as that is a major spoiler

I find it funny that all the discussion in the thread is about the best translation of the title.

Actually, it also plays a key role in the action of this book

Time of Contempt is closest to original meaning

Perhaps, but there's been a weakening of "contempt" in English over the past few generations

Still, seeing as many as six consonants together can be intimidating for some of us
