I was thinking it because the goddess said that the Imass Ho had gone on to have countless children; that made me think of Syballe and her army of children. But your story makes a lot more sense; now that you reminded me, I do remember Onrack saying all of that.Murrin wrote: Syballe had nothing to do with it, and I'm not sure where you got that impression.

How the heck could Cotillion have been at the Crippled God's Chaining??? I certainly haven't heard that Dancer was that old before he ascended. But even if he was, he only ascended when Laseen "killed" him. What am I missing?Cycles indeed. And now this House of Chains. The damned Crippled God-
You damned fool, Cotillion. You were there at the last Chaining, weren't you? You should have stuck a knife in the bastard right there and then.
I so very much agree!! (Except I haven't read any Esselmont yet. Where did you get your copies?) I've never been so taken by any series of books.Lucimay wrote:personally i just have not been able to criticize this series in anyway yet.
i find these enormous books, with all their threads and characters, well written and consistant. it will take me several read-throughs of ALL the books once the series is finished before i'd even feel qualified to talk about what one of the books does or doesn't do or what one of the books serves or doesn't serve of the larger story.
thus far nothing erikson or esselmont has written has been disappointing in any way to me.
*high fives Luci* Again, I so very much agree! Damn. I'm surprised anyone else feels this way about it.Lucimay wrote:the entire series has been more than gratifying to me. i like both erikson and esslemont's writing styles and i find that erikson sometimes says things that i find life-changingly profound. not kidding.
Indeed. Like, among other examples, Jenn with Neverness, it's somewhat sad when I'm unable to transfer my joy of a book to someone else. But I guess it goes the other way, them going ga-ga over things I could take or leave, so I don't get all depressed or nuthin'. Heh.Lucimay wrote:i'm sorry you're not liking it as much!
