Two wonderful lines Comet Sedai Send a noteboard - 08/12/2010 02:36:17 AM
Alvar, Miranda, Isak, the de Radas, various kings and assorted lackeys.


I don't have the book handy, but it contains one of my absolute favorite exchanges between two characters, Jehane and Rodrigo... it summed up so much (and this may, alas, be paraphrasing slightly, because as I said, the book's not handy):

Jehane: Do you think it is possible for a woman to love two men?

Rodrigo: As possible as it is for a man to love two women.
The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo.

A superficial point: Rebekah - 18/11/2010 08:33:58 PM 772 Views
Yes. Phèdre no Delaunay de Montrêve (as opposed to Racine's Phèdre). Legolas - 18/11/2010 08:37:49 PM 608 Views

Because I was amusing myself with this during the read: on meanings of names and places Legolas - 18/11/2010 03:38:39 PM 1185 Views
I wish I had the time and brainpower to do that when reading books. Rebekah - 18/11/2010 07:48:30 PM 692 Views
Actually, I'm not sure if it really enhanced the reading experience. Legolas - 18/11/2010 08:11:29 PM 684 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 18/11/2010 08:15:32 PM 879 Views

Oh, and I forgot one, though it might be a stretch... Legolas - 18/11/2010 09:05:05 PM 679 Views
That is what I thought about "Esperaña" Camilla - 29/12/2010 11:33:12 PM 726 Views
I did not catch all of those. Certainly not the arabic name-references. Camilla - 29/12/2010 11:53:46 PM 850 Views
