I went back and looked for him in Paladin's Grace to confirm, I only vaguely remembered that there was a character who did his job. Brindle was even in Clocktaur Wars and The Wonder Engine, right? Or Swordheart? Or all of them, Brindle may be the Stan Lee of the World of the White Rat. In my head, for some reason, Brindle and Zane make for nice continuity but Jorge popping up over and over is leading to something down the road. Maybe because we have had books in which Brindle and Zane played larger roles already but nsm Jorge

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."

Jorge mostly hangs around providing respectability to the paladins (of the Saint of Steel) and looking gorgeous. Also vouching for the non-presence of demons.

I think Jorge was in Swordheart, too. I almost want him to have his own book, or be someone's love interest.

I'm easy. I would love to have them all have individual books or to have a group book that goes into whatever happened that caused the series' not-quite cliffhanger.

I think Jorge turned up in Swordheart when Halla and the guy in the sword stopped at an inn and there were some paladins of the Dreaming God and one was injured; she treated his wound and he (all of them?) went with them and helped them with the priests of the Hanged Mother. I think ... obviously ANOTHER re-read is needed.

That's what I remember, Toddson, also that Jorge was flirting pretty heavily with Halla at some point.
I'm just so tickled that she's taken this idea of playing around with the Romance with Brooding Paladin idea that she came up with while playing video games and turned it into a full on series (and whatever you want to call Clocktaur Wars and The Wonder Engine) and it's so good!

I loved it and I’m going back to reread the others. I’m glad it looks like we’ll get more in this world. I hope they have more Zale.

I love all these books! I was thrilled when the latest popped up on my Kindle.

More Zale would be good ... maybe a romance for them? or someone to figure out how to keep their hair from getting in the way.
I think Jorge automatically flirts. Period.

Listened to The Thursday Murder Club and The Man Who Died Twice on Fay’s recommendation elsewhere (she specifically recced the narrator as giving the line readings she would, so I was certainly going to pay attention to that!) and the second one just ended and I am a little bereft. The mysteries are quite good, and the characters are terrific and there’s some really nice treatment of grief and trauma and morality in an overall very pleasant package. If you like that sort of thing you will probably like these.
