I just read it, Connie! The Fool is a man, though he has masqueraded as a woman. It was a great read.
I adore Robin Hobb.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Did she do anything with the less-than-subtle romantic tension that was in the end of the first books?

Hey. New board.
I was able to get some more Skulduggery Pleasant ebooks (more) legally by tricking Kobobooks.ca into thinking I was Canadian and paying with Paypal. A pain, but at least the publishers and authors got their due.
And now I have reading to do!

The status is NOT quo.
Connie, she established that it was never sexual, but intimate on more of a soul level.
So yes and no. It’s really not about the two of them for most of the book.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
I'm reading this book on women's history, which is very good so far, but there is also something sort of weird about the copy-editing: it never puts an e in taxes. Is that a thing somewhere and I didn't know?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Uh...no. It's a wrong thing. WTF?

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
I know! And given that it's a history of how government came to be, the issue comes up a lot.(I thought that was something UKers write like we do...of all the errors.Sometimes the editing is not that great when established books are kindle-ized, but that seems oddly specific. WTF, indeed!)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I suspect that you are right that it is part of Kindleization. Weirdly consistent character substitutions do happen.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Hah! I've been following her for a while, actually: I really like her posts over at Tor, especially when she was doing the massive rereads of women writers.
I respect that Judith Tarr is doing the reread of Melanie Rawn, but I rather wish someone would take on, say, some early Cherryh (The Morgaine Saga?) or LeGuin or Jonathan Strange. I loved Kate Nepveu's reread of LotR, and I'm kind of annoyed at all the acreage devoted to the books of the Malazan (forsooth).
