I completely missed the implicit admission of a relationship between Nerili and Cadvan in the first read but I’m definitely intrigued by the flash of jealousy Maerad seems to feel. I wonder why Maerad’s extreme paleness is mentioned once and again while her brother’s brown skin is mentioned once again–maybe I’m getting my genetics wrong but wouldn’t mixed children have skin that is a colour between their parents’ skins? Like pale brown or olive or something?Īlso, I love Busk and would like to live there. I feel like I notice so many more details than I previously did.įirst is something that puzzled me in the first book but slipped my mind while I was writing comments. It’s such an interesting experience reading this as an adult compared to reading it as a teen years earlier.

I’m totally excited for this one for reasons I don’t remember but I think it involves snow and…wolves? Hah.

It’s completely okay to read ahead but if you comment about things that people wouldn’t have read just write “SPOILER” in the beginning of your comment.

There are 27 chapters in the book so about 7 per week?.
