I think you're right, they aren't really the Bastard's people. They are like some kind of bizarro thieves compared to the GB's.<br /><br />And I liked LoLL better too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364999124473415795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-82765969383691179902012-06-01T10:17:22.077-04:002012-06-01T10:17:22.077-04:00Haha perhaps!

I was wondering if the poison were a bluff, as well. I thought that if that were the case, maybe the Archon's alchemist gave them a poison instead of a cure. It seemed more likely that he would just hand them a poison than that he carried a single portion of cure-all around with him. However, Jean drank it, and he's not dead yet!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-47224008282678747762012-05-27T21:42:34.852-04:002012-05-27T21:42:34.852-04:00I get the feeling there's a lot more to Merrai...I get the feeling there's a lot more to Merrain than meets the eye....<br /><br />And I have a funny feeling Lynch will be ready to pull the rug out from under us yet again when he gets around to the big reveal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-16305898469511300962012-05-27T09:24:15.467-04:002012-05-27T09:24:15.467-04:00I figure Merrain is either an agent of the Bondsma...I figure Merrain is either an agent of the Bondsmagi or a rival organisation.

Otherwise, they will need to stumble upon a very unlikely cure-all, which would be really sloppy writing. :)Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-40324157201906386202012-05-26T14:04:33.097-04:002012-05-26T14:04:33.097-04:00Honestly, the Salon Corbeau closure made me love M...Honestly, the Salon Corbeau closure made me love Mr. Lynch! <br />I really thought that wouldn't get resolved in this book.<br /><br />As to the next book, I agree with all you said might come next and the poison question will definitely need to be settled unless the next story happpens right after where we left off this one and lasts a couple of weeks. :)<br />I wonder if Mr. Lynch will resolve the poison story by making it a bluff, or if Jean and Locke will turn to bondsmahi for help. Now that would be fun. ;)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.com
