A New Challenge

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

I went to the book store for a meeting and came out with copies of The Thief and QoA with their lovely new covers. And in the author notes in the back of Thief, MWT says that she likes to read anything by Diana Wynne Jones.

Then, she says that she put a direct quote from Howl's Moving Castle into The Thief as a tribute to DWJ's work. Isn't that awesome?

Cyberchocolate to the one who can spot it and report back to us!


Ok, so that one was easy for some people. Scroll down to read another challenge.

However, why do I get the feeling that you-know-who will know the answer? And no, I don't mean Lord Voldemort.

Ok, here are the answers.

In The Thief in the story "earth's creation and the birth of the gods" it says, "After a while the moon too went away from Earth. She promised to send her light to keep Earth company at night, but the moon's promises are worth nothing, and she sent only part of her light and sometimes forgot entirely."

In QoA after Gen kidnaps Attolia and the Medes come and rescue her, she goes to Gen and tells him he'll be chained to two other prisoners, etc. Then it says a bit later, "He could tell her he loved her. He ached to shout it out loud for the gods and everyone else to hear. Little good it would do. Better to trust in the moon's promises than the word of the Thief of Eddis. He was famous in three countries for his lies."

In KoA when Aulus and Boagus are there, Costis comes in, "he arrived in the middle of an argument. 'I am not interested in one of your moon promises,' Aulus was saying."

How 'bout that?
