Interview Links

For some time now, whenever I come across an interview with Mrs. Turner I've been filing away a link away in a word-document. So I thought I'd post all the links here, for easy reference.

Caution: The reading of these interviews may cause Not-Telling Overdose, with symptoms including, but not limited to, frustration, sleeplessness, and the urge to reread all of the books again.

Just noticed on The Thief re-read...

I am finally embarking on a re-read of the series. I'm still only in The Thief, but I may have said "Ha!" out loud when I got to this quote from the magus:

--

His voice dripped condescension. "Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Gen is a family name. The title of King's Thief is a hereditary one now in Eddis, and I think the current Thief is named Eugenides. Maybe you're related."

--

She completely laid it out for us, and I'm pretty darn sure I didn't even notice on my first read-through. Also, Gen's reaction ("I could feel my face burning and knew that I was red right up to the hairline") is, we can now guess, not so much due to anger (although I'm sure it's partly that), but alarm at how close the magus is to the truth.

Anyway, it's proving fabulous to re-read. Such a treat to catch all the subtler, deeper meanings of remarks and details. Very, very clever.
