You want me to just copy & paste the whole book?
You may as well keep in mind what happened to Lorn.

Thanks all. I'm trying to navigate things I missed without spoling further books. I know that's a bitch when you have read them all.

I'm sure you're doing fine. I've only read 5-10 once. I'm such a slow reader, and these are really big.

I meant to mention that the end of GoTM gives us our first indication that Erikson struggles with the difference between "flail" and "flay." (Always annoys me when I see him get it wrong, although he doesn't always. Maybe it was his editor.

Reminds me of SRD misusing "sojourn" all the time. I think he said somebody gave him crap about it.

I was rereading Gardens of the Moon, thinking about how I might have very loosely imitated Hairlock-as-a-puppet during some minor events at work, years ago, without realizing it. Then I got to the part where Crone is flying through the sky and another Great Raven reports to her question as to what's going on as "Confusion!" (to which Crone replies, "I Love a Good Joke!"). I can't remember if hours passed, but within a day or two, I was at work taking my first call. I don't remember exactly what happened, but there was some kind of issue (maybe I had to ask someone something, maybe I had to apologize that someone wasn't available to talk), and I told someone "sorry for the confusion."
What can I say, I hear Jesus said he values one penitent sinner over ten righteous men.
EDIT-Also, I think Erikson made a pretty creative reference to Donaldson with the word "Seer." There are two seers mentioned in the book. How much of a connection can you make of them?
