9 out of 10 for both. Not bad... been a while since I read the series.

I cheer myself because these are usually the type of questions I can't recall. I atribute this score to:
a) in the process of reading the books again
&
b)it was multiple choice..

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

10 and 8. But you're quite right, Somberlain. The plural of 'Amnion' is 'Amnion'. 'Amnioni' is the singular: a member of the Amnion species is an Amnioni. (This is the normal inflection of collective names in Semitic languages: cf. afrit—afriti, djinn—djinni, Israel—Israeli.)
9/10 but it's only because I disagree strongly with the last question regarding what happened to Angus.
IMO he did not 'escape' - but was rather rewarded with no search parties sent out after him and Motherlode. An escape suggests being chased. Angus wasn't chased.
