Erm... how about just a helluva lot of the last one? Hmm. Is that a spoiler? Nah.

I can get with that!

Well, I finished this on the plane back from 'fest. I have some of the same problems that Marvin and Ted have. But my bigger problem is just not knowing why anybody's doing what they're doing. As I was saying to dw at 'fest, somebody will say, "You'd better get him out of the city, before everybody kills him," and I'm thinking, "What?? Why would everybody want to kill him??" I just can't follow political crap well enough.

Anyway, I still LOVE the magic. The Wickan warlocks were awesome!

Kalam is da bomb!!

Fiddler is da bomb!! Even Mappo clearly saw it.

And yeah, Mappo and Icarium. Impressive stuff, even if largely unexplained so far.

Every step of the journey to Aren!!!!! My god, what an incredible story! Triumph and tragedy every day! Horror and resignation; hope and salvation. The sheer exhaustion. Unbelievable writing. (Much like Danlo's journey to Neverness, but TONS and TONS more to this.)

I've just finished this and can't wait to get started on MoI.

A great series, although a bit more mentally challenging in resect of knitting things together as you're reading.

Waiting for MoI from the library, but there are two people in line before me, so it might be a few weeks before I can get the third book

Post by **Phantasm** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 6:19 pm

Managed to get a copy of MoI from the prison library today, so the wait is over.

WOO HOO!!! Go to it!!!

The very beginning is SOOOO cool!!!!

I'm not sure what I prefer between the t'lan stuff and the empire in jakurta (or whatever that continent is called).

Well, I'd go with the latter, but the t'lan stuff is pretty awesome too.

OK, I'll be starting my reread of DG tomorrow. I'm very excited!!! Good God... Chain of Dogs!!!! Coltaine!!!! Duiker!!!!!! I'm nearly drooling now!!!! And on top of all that, Fiddler being as cool as anyone could possibly be!!!!!

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 11:00 pm

It's extremely cool reading this book again! I'm very excited, because I know how amazing it is going to be!! DAMN, every time Duiker or Coltaine are there, I get goosebumps!

Hey, here's a t-shirt idea:
I survived the Chain of Dogs, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!

Would you say Coltaine's reincarnation gets one?

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 2:03 am

Sure, why not?

Although I haven't read past HoC, so I haven't met him yet. Heh. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You won't, Fist. Erikson has said he's not going to appear in this series (Though he hasn't ruled out using the character in future work).

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 12:20 pm

Really?!?!??

Wow, I thought it was a sure thing. I wonder why. Everybody else gets to come back.

Post by **I'm Murrin** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 12:23 pm

Well, I think it's because the series is only going to cover a time period of a few years, and Coltaine will still be a young child, heh.

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 12:26 pm

That's easy enough to get around. Even if he doesn't want to use Tattersail's method, I imagine a god could speed him up.

Well, anyway, if he's not going to, he's not going to. No problem. In fact, it makes his "death" more dramatic.
