Only a typo, but on page 263 (US edition):
"The glittering among the leaves of the ur-Mahrtiir's tree had become a silver penumbra, purer that the brightness of Loric's krill, and more melodious." It should be "than" and not "that."
I know, a tiny thing, but....

MikeW, considering what happened to most of the people Felice DID have an interest in, if you ever met her, it would have been better for you that she wouldn't! Probably true ;) Personally, my favorite character was Marc - not sure what that says about me :) Depends whether you liked the "bad&...

Felice and Infelice - interesting. It hadn't even crossed my mind, even though I still remember having an enormous crush on Felice 30 years ago. (Of course, she would have had no interest in me...but that didn't stop me from drooling over her )

MikeW, can I suggest Terry Pratchett as a replacement author before bedtime. He's up to 40 Discworld books and counting, so that'll last you a long while, I'd imagine. Very VERY different from SRD, in that Pratchett is a sly and satirical humorist - but brilliant nonetheless. Thanks for the suggest...

You're probably right. My thoughts were based on you reacting "forcefully" to the contraction - since I reacted forcefully to a lot of what Stave did throughout the book, because he was so often acting out of character for the Haruchai.

That's interesting, Peter - since I've been considering the same thing, either rereading the entire 3C or just rereading TLD, to see how I feel about things afterward. Part of my thought process on a re-read is that I've spent my "hour before bed reading time" the last few months rereading...

Best wimp-out: Kasty at the Fane.

I enjoyed the writing around Jeremiah's struggle against and defeat of Moshka Raver, and especially when he casts him out at the end. And Stave was probably the best-written character in the entire Last Chronicles. This is neither a positive nor a negative, I thought it was strange the way TLD seem...

Okay, I can't quote exact location within TLD, but I promise you it's there - because it struck me so forcefully on read-through. On one occasion in dialogue, Stave uses the contraction "I'm", instead of "I am". This is an editorial/proofreader miss, because SRD would never inte...

(But I still firmly believe that TROTE, FR and AATE could have been combined into two books, and TLD could have become the second two books with a lot more detail/story/satisfying resolution.) I've suggested the same thing . I've only been able to make such suggestions now that I can see the whole ...

I have to say that for me the failings of 'The Last Dark' were the failings of the third Chrons as a whole. SRD did indeed 'strive mightily' to wrap up the series - but what he was striving to wrap was a hotch-potch octopus of a plot that had got out of controll way before we see it in the final bo...

I obviously don't post much (understatement!) but I read everything others post. So forgive my "sticking my nose" into the discussion with an observation. I had pretty much the same feelings as most after my first read of TLD - way too rushed (particularly at the end), some silly resolutio...

I'm delaying starting it because once I start it, it'll be over more quickly. Can't hold out much longer though.

Sorry, duplicate post.

It's here! How am I going to go back to work now?????

Oh leave it alone you bunch. :D You're gonna frighten away the new (and old) members again. ;) Welcome to the Watch Mike. I can certainly reset your old account if you remember what it was. Have fun. --A Thanks - and thanks to all for the warm welcome. I can't remember what the old account was, so ...

Think I joined once before, but was looking for somewhere to hang out after re-rereading 1-9 and while waiting for 10
