I just find seeing the differences between the houses really interesting!<br /><br />I wonder if he ever heard any stories about Phedre/Joscelin pre-Skaldia? I guess Phedre didn't really talk much to him about that part of her life.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-35984160042705145482016-03-24T12:14:09.319-04:002016-03-24T12:14:09.319-04:00I agree - Bertran's apology was worthy but too...I agree - Bertran's apology was worthy but too late to save their friendship. Too bad. <br /><br />I haven't seen Brave yet so I will have to go check that out. <br /><br />I wonder if Carey was worried about giving her readings sex fatigue if she had Imriel visit all the Night Court houses. I think I would have enjoyed it but she also does a great job of using the sex and the romance to further the story and visiting all the Houses might have taken away from that. <br /><br />Those are really good points about Imri's ideas of romantic love. Een tho he's heard the ballads, poems, tales, etc., he's grown up knowing them as a pair, deeply in love. <br /><br />I also agree about the covers. Why not put Imri on the covers for this trilogy? He's a handsome and deeply interesting lad!nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-24592451973976276702016-03-22T04:46:39.096-04:002016-03-22T04:46:39.096-04:00Yeah, she does make a lovely cover, I was just sur...Yeah, she does make a lovely cover, I was just surprised that my copies of the first two books of Imriel's trilogy feature Phedre and Sidonie!<br /><br />I am wondering if his attraction to Sidonie is going to end up being just infatuation with someone who seems unreachable. Maybe the 'forbidden' aspect was also part of what attracted him to Claudia? I do hope he gives his fiancée a chance, too.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-36200784763332585002016-03-22T04:44:20.933-04:002016-03-22T04:44:20.933-04:00Yeah, I saw Lynn's cover had Imriel--I was won...Yeah, I saw Lynn's cover had Imriel--I was wondering if it was a US/UK regional difference.

Spot on. <br />And Brave - yes, I think that might of been what I was trying to grasp but kept evading me.<br />I hope that Imriel is going to give Bredeia a chance. At the moment he seems a little bit enamoured with Sidonie.<br />Lynn :D<br />Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.com
