It occurs to me that King Joyse's greatest strength may be his acting ability. This passage encourages me in that line of thinking. Her father was amazing, really, Elega thought. Trapped in this valley, hugely outnumbered, with Darsint's resources effectively exhausted, and the Congery's as well, h...

A mousy girl that wants lots of children, ie the antithesis of Feminism

There was a discussion about Terisa and Geraden's age a while ago. I think Elega is around 26 and Myste 17-19. Joyce and Madin were apart during his various military campaigns. When in Mordant's history were each of the three princesses conceived?

Aren't Nyle and Elega the same age? They were in a semi relationship.

Geraden eyes are called '(intent) brown eyes' while they talk in her apartment before venturing into Mordant (pg. 25.) Maybe there's a more detailed description elsewhere. Interesting that both our heroes have varying shades of brown to both their eyes and hair. A hint that they're ordinary people t...

I think that's a win. Your turn to ask, Skyweir.

I think their descriptions are given very early on, maybe even in the introduction.

Eye color options: oak-brown, sky-blue, sea-green, rage-red, royal-purple, sun-yellow, space-black blind-monk-white, orange-orange, panties-pink, meh-grey, kevinwatch-landscape-green...

What are the hair and eye colors of Geraden and Terisa?

That's easy: it's Geraden.

I can't remember the details of that scene.

Kevin wasn't the only Land dweller to get close to Foul. The Ranyhyn progenitor got close during his own ritual self sacrifice. The Ravers of course. To get close to him you just need to worship him by preforming acts of desecration. Covenant managed to win by subverting his desecration in different...

Aren't the Words of Power from the language of the Elohim? the Gift of Tongues would be especially suited to understand the Words.

It's good to bring a taste of faroff lands but you need to compromise a little to make it local friendly.

Did anyone ask Donaldson if he loves Ramen soup?

Remind me of Alice in Wonderland and her fearsome cat. Could that be Donaldson inspiration for the giant fire cat?

Nyle gets to make a positive difference yet another time in the story, helping to save Geraden after Gilbur's defeat. The wolves would have killed Geraden then. He was too shaken to defend himself, too deeply shocked. Artagel and Nyle arrived in time to save him, however. Artagel was exhausted, of ...

I'm rereading this thread from the beginning. Then Geraden and Artagel and Nyle entered the room. Despite their obvious exhaustion, they had all come to fight for her. Artagel held his sword poised; Nyle swung his chains; Geraden's face was full of threats. They all came forward to fling themselves ...

The only thing I can think of for #1 would be the lava at Sternwall, but I didn't remember a rescue there as much as just making sure the gate was open. Very close. Eremis attacked them with the mouthballs as they were approaching the city gates. The local soldiers rescued them. I think Terisa's ho...

Oh, the Servant! Forgot about him. From what I recall he wasn't a house servant. Maybe a gardener or a chauffeur? He was her only childhood friend so that must count for something. After you recounted so many I'll give you hints: - Life&death rescue happened in 2nd book during her travels. - met...

It's all for THE CAUSE (of answering this question!)

Edit to add - you're in the finish line already. Break the ribbon.
