I tend to think so. <br /><br />I've forgotten much of this book but I expect Carey has more surprises for us. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-74360959405665647852017-06-14T08:53:39.380-04:002017-06-14T08:53:39.380-04:00Yeah, pretty much the worst Moirin has done (by Ye...Yeah, pretty much the worst Moirin has done (by Yeshuite morality) is sleep around and have helpful, non-violent magic powers. She's never intended to hurt anyone, which is certainly a step above a lot of humans (Rostov included).<br /><br />Hear, hear on the escape plan. I hope it's impressive (and that it works)! I'm ready for her to get out of there.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-69362728664697285182017-06-13T16:41:41.393-04:002017-06-13T16:41:41.393-04:00Yes, I thought the plan was very foolhardy. It...Yes, I thought the plan was very foolhardy. It's an archery competition - I imagine you'd be likely to be granted something good as a boon but hardly the son-in-law of the Chief! Why not just ask for all the first born as well :D<br />I think you've hit the nail of the head with my surprise at the abduction thread - surely Moirin can't be the worst person that Rostov could set his sights on converting. It does feel a little flimsy.<br />I keep thinking that Moirin is good with languages - and then I realise I've flipped back to Phedre. Aaarggh - there were a few similarities though so I think this is probably why.<br />Here's to hoping we get a good escape plan.<br />Lynn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.com
