I must have been 8 or 9. Saw Lord Foul's Bane on my dad's bookshelf, was intrigued by the cover (lightning on Kevin's Watch, inside a circle - that cover). He let me read it. Was a big lesson in vocabulary ;), I needed the dictionary some few times (chrysoprase cynosures, anyone?). And unsurprisingl...

I don't see why these and othe...

Someone I know, who's recently been reading the 1st Chron (she hasn't read the 2nd) asked me this, and I thought it was a very good question. Yes, I organised it a bit to be more logical, flesh out some details, and stuff. ;) As has been stated numerous times in the books, the Creator of the Land ca...

Angus was tortured in the crib by his mother. He was a hateful, sadistic, bastard. Nick managed to survive being set adrift in the original Captain's Fancy (wasn't he?). Angus used his ship's thrusters to fry a mining camp. He inflicted a zone implant on Morn, abused her, raped her, lied, cheated an...
