But still, getting married is not the sort of thing one does while sorting out one's feelings for another woman (actually, I guess Imriel did that too, but at least he seems to have had better reasons).Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-58922477058116744222017-06-06T20:49:01.909-04:002017-06-06T20:49:01.909-04:00That is a good point, and I am pretty curious abou...That is a good point, and I am pretty curious about Tatar relationship norms. From Batu's home, it looked like they mostly had traditional monogamy between one man and woman, but we didn't really get to see much of the broader society.<br /><br />Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-89368187684171217702017-06-06T17:39:51.253-04:002017-06-06T17:39:51.253-04:00I couldn't agree with you more.

Reading your comments one thing that did occur to me was whether Bao was angry with Moirin and so maybe some of the actions were not as well considered because of that. Still - what a numpty.<br />Lynn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-50605124835039904982017-06-06T09:05:00.236-04:002017-06-06T09:05:00.236-04:00I agree with you about Moirin's options for tr...I agree with you about Moirin's options for traveling into the Tartar lands. We've seen other traders and even religion spreaders showing up for these Tartar games.<br /><br />I don't know how the Tartars view married male promiscuity. Perhaps it wouldn't be a big deal with the men if Moirin was just a fling, or even if Bao and Moirin decided that Moirin would be Bao's 2nd wife. Regardless of how the Tartar men view such things, obviously Edina is hurt. <br /><br />Yes, Moirin might be a little too generous for her own gift. On the other hand, she grew up with few material possessions that she couldn't make herself, so I suspect she doesn't fear being without goods that she can barter or sell. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.com
