All I've really noticed so far (apart from how awesome Arithon is ) is how much I hate Lysaer. And how well Wurts has written him to make me hate him.

His background sets up perfectly his failings as Tysan's prince. And his geas of Justice is never going to compensate for that upbringing. I do find it slightly frustrating, however, that there cannot be a change.

And it's quite hard to write about stuff assuming simultaneously that the people reading this have and haven't read the book.
