Yeah, Duchess, you mentioned There is also love in the world. That is my favorite, too! I also like this passage because I love Amok: "High Lord," he said, "we do not know the name of the Seventh Ward's power. We have heard many names - some false, others dead. But one name we have he...

ooooohhhhhhh! Thank you all for giving me your ideas. I like the idea that the power was a 'double edged sword'. Furl's Fire said: ...Mhoram realized that he could also use the power of the ritual to save, and not damn. Another paradox of power. Mhoram discovered the crux of the paradox. That makes ...

Kinslaughterer, you did a great job! This is one of the best parts of the whole book. The resolution of Mhoram's personal struggle regarding the "knowledge of power" he had is wonderful! I really don't have anyone to talk about this stuff with so some of my understanding of the book is kin...

Thanks, guys! I agree with you, Duchess: Terisa definately has issues that contribute to her being so fond of Eremis. For one, we know that she likes him because he makes her feel "real". The fact that he desires her (strongly!) must be a very new feeling to her. I think I would probably a...

This will be rather embarassing, but I live in Ohio and have never been to Kent State! And I live right in the middle of the state so nothing is more than about 2.5 hours away. I did read that Kent State has a special collection of SRD works there - including some manuscripts and rough drafts. I thi...

Wow - I like that analysis, srtrout. I think I should read the Second Chronicles again sometime soon...

Yeah, the "guest" was me! I forgot to login.

-- or "Liar, Liar Pants on Fire!" Chapter 13 begins immediatley following an attack on our herione, Terisa. We were introduced to Artagel, Geraden's brother, after he saves her life and causes her attacker to flee (ie. disappear!). Everyone nearby (Kragen, and The Perdon) are completely fr...

Hmmm... Well, the first chrons has some great stuff: my favorite book is TIW because I love Amok and the search and discovery of the 7th Ward; and Mhoram's deal with the forestaal of Garroting Deep. The first Chrons also has more cool battles and the ravers are particularly evil in the first Chrons ...

Hey guys! Duchess - I will take 13 for you if you like. I work for a huge evil corporation and so we have Monday the 1st off. I can read chapter 13 again and post something on Monday. I figured that everyone was all too excited about about SRD's reading at the convention and probably coming to Elohi...

I remember while reading The One Tree that The Worm of the World's End reminded me of the serpent Ouroboros. I beleive many cultures share the story of the worm who bites its own tail. In some of the stories this worm "holds up" the earth, too. I think the Norse have an Ouroboros, but he h...

Thanks, Danlo! You just made my freaking WEEK!

Just wanted to state I am very impressed about your map of Earth's Dreamland, Danlo. I love that story. I love the meeping ghouls. And the hideous plateau of Leng! I can read Lovecraft over and over. I always had trouble picturing Mordant -- maybe because there was no map and I've come to depend on ...

I read MN after I saw The Two Towers. I picture Joyse exactly like King Theoden was portrayed before Gandalf did that little "exorcism". I think that Actor's name was Bernard Hill. Anyway, did you notice how filmy and blue his eyes were? He didn't look too good! I can't picture anything el...

I voted for Gilbur. He had no redeeming qualities! Especially when you consider what he did with poor Nyle. Eremis is pretty nasty -- but things always promised to be interesting (in more ways than one!) when he was on the scene. Actually my least favorite character was Lebbick. I know he is one of ...

Awesome! I can pick up with ch 14 & 15 after we get done with 13. This is good because I can get caught up on my homework before we get there!! I really love reading all of your thoughts and comments. It is hard to find a good discussion board when it comes to books and authors, I think. I am a ...

Hi everyone, I am new here. Well, really I've been coming to Kevin's Watch for a couple of years - ever since I read TCTC the first time. I've always enjoyed reading the posts, but of course am too shy to post. However, I have just read Mordant's Need and I loved it! Seems like you all were having s...
