Reinforcing my opinion that every one of these books is actually damn depressing, her story is a tragic one indeed...

So, I changed the title of this thread a bit, since I'm running ahead in my re-read so I might as well use this for just random stuff as well. Just finished HoC and I'm reminded why this was for a long time my favourite, and remains such a good book...I might skim the first couple hundred pages, at ...

I don't have the nostalgia factor to fall back on...apart from TMP and WoK I don't think I'd even seen...
