I think there's a wordpress option in the comments, or maybe OpenID would work?<br /><br />I'm also really looking forward to finding out how Phèdre fits into this world, and what kind of a situation she's coming into with Anafiel.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-87858333191269696012015-05-15T13:30:56.581-04:002015-05-15T13:30:56.581-04:00I've never had it before, but I agree it looks...I've never had it before, but I agree it looks good. Less alcoholic than Terre d'Ange joie, I think :). I hope we get to learn more about Delauney soon, and that he is not quite as creepy as Petyr.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-15530983488257683502015-05-15T13:29:22.448-04:002015-05-15T13:29:22.448-04:00There's actually a really thorough page on the...There's actually a really thorough page on the mythology in Wikipedia. I haven't read too much of it now, because I'm trying to avoid spoilers :). Also, yay for Gentleman Bastards! I have described Lies of Locke Lamora to my husband as "Fantasy Venice", so I get what you mean.

I like the world building and am intrigued by Phedre and those she meets.<br /><br />I have a feeling that some people are playing a long game and she may not yet be aware of it or what her specific role is. I look forward to finding out. <br /><br />This is Michael from Nashville Book Worm BTW. It won't let me comment under that identity (it's probably something I'm doing wrong).

Sounds like there's lots of fun ahead! <br /><br />I can't imagine fortune-telling giving me anything other than impatience (for good things) or dread (for bad things). Also, it would be awful if there was some great success in the future, but then by knowing it was coming, accidentally doing something to avert it (like being lazier).Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-77700076203485652112015-05-10T18:12:28.677-04:002015-05-10T18:12:28.677-04:00I loved your Harry Potter comparison--it summed up...I loved your Harry Potter comparison--it summed up their entrances perfectly! :)Grace @Bookswithoutanypictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926992766158099078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-19181661716100086762015-05-10T16:33:11.026-04:002015-05-10T16:33:11.026-04:00I love the Harry Potter reference for the masque. ...I love the Harry Potter reference for the masque. Definitely different styles and tempos to the various houses, and later, the other groups that come to join the fun. <br /><br />I wouldn't want to know the future either, even if it was possible. I like the unknowns of future life as my choices today would surely be influenced by my knowledge of tomorrow. I would probably become lazier. <br /><br />I love studying the maps of Terre D'Ange and seeing what corresponds with the world we know. It will be interesting to read your remarks on such as we progress through the book. <br /><br />Haha! What a fun yogurt drink, all Cinderella-y. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.com
