I was distracted by the release of TCG, as well as some serious rl crap, but I finally finished my third reading of MoI. And I was just as moved, delighted, amazed, amused, thrilled, and appalled as I was the first two times. As always, the most powerful aspects for me are Itkovian and the Toolman. ...

I don't know that Felisin could have been otherwise, luci. I think the little-girl-forced-into-a-life-of-prostitution-and-beatings-who-never-loses-the-innocent-kindness-and-love-of-youth is a tv movie. :lol: Or maybe it could happen. Maybe it even has happened to some. But maybe not everyone could c...

Nah. He was a bad guy and a jerk. :lol: His great ambition was to kill as many of the other people as he could. Sounds bad to me. But hey, it wasn't his fault. He was raised with certain morals. Bad morals. It wasn't his fault he was ignorant. But he reveals that he's better than that. When he did l...

Honestly, I think Erikson just lost track of a few things, and messed up. But it's not of any concern to me. If the series was a whole lot shorter, I'd probably keep better track of them, and post a lot about it. :lol: But the series is just so extraordinary that I'm entirely willing to pretend none...

Yeah, in the beginning, he was a bloodthirsty, arrogant jerk. But he really became a great character. Can't wait for his trilogy!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know who Quick Ben is!

Well, what's "necessary" reading? The main event is bigger than most that we read about in the Erikson books. We could have simply been told that the Malazans fought Annomander for a city named Pale, then failed to take Darujhistan. A Jaghut Tyrant was released, etc. Or a guy named Coltain...

Well, I guess that's true. I was just expecting something serious from him then. Brys made him his 2nd in Command, right? Shoulda done something strategically extraordinary. heh

Yeah! What the hell happened with Grub?? That was annoying! I was hoping to see Tayschrenn and Topper, too. Not expecting Topper, but woulda been nice. I was never interested until he popped up at that point in RotCG. That was cool. :D I thought Tay's power would be needed, though. Surprised such a ...

Didn't Icarium say he'd follow Karsa when Karsa tries to become emperor? Something weird like that? In Letheri, before Karsa fought the emperor. So I expect to see Icarium in the Karsa books.

I asked about Icarium's warrens, too. I guess the best answer is: Here's hoping we find out in future books. :lol: I think Mappo's death was more putting him out of his misery than anything else. And I know "misery" is not the right word. But he's been around for a looooooong time, doing w...

They've been warned about spoilers! :D Ok, so, Cotillion stabbed TCG so his soul could go free and he could join his buddies in the Flying Jade Thingies, right? Yeah. I didn't get that at first. I was REALLY pissed! :lol: Also, I really like what Erickson did with TCG being the writer of the Book of...

Tehol always comes through.

Read her the parts about Roach and Bent.

You've got way too many books to read to waste time on final exams!!!

Yeah, the Assail are, aside from evil, annoying. And what could be better than Quick & Kalam? You suppose Kellanved & Dancer worked like this?

And yeah, more heart-ripping to come!

Having read all the other books, I'm sure you'll believe me when I say - You ain't seen nuthin' yet!! How far are you?

Right?!? And when they talk!

Original ruler of Kurald Emurlahn.

duchess is the only other person who finished it that I know of. We pretty much finished it within hours of each other. Since she's not here much, we've been discussing it at the Hangar. Just so you all know.
