Moments that made you go... *spoilers ahead*

[katewaits.livejournal.com]

Several posts have brought up comments that include, "when I came to _____, I just _____, and then I ____ ..." or a variation of that.  I always find those comments so interesting.  Sort of a "where were you when ..." thing.

So, just pulling some major scenes out of the series, I'd love to know what your thoughts were at those moments.  Disbelief, utter sadness, anger, hilarity, "I knew it!" or whathaveyou.  And did you have any trouble keeping those spoilers to yourself (I find that's the hardest thing -- that's why I just give someone a book and say 'don't read the back just read the book' and go away).  

Moments that made you go ... :

1.  "The Thief":  finding out Ambiades had betrayed them and he and Pol had been killed.

2.  "The Thief":  finding out Gen was that Eugenides and that he had kept the Gift.

3.  "Queen of Attolia":  THAT SCENE, aka "Chop Chop"  (we've read a lot of people's reactions, but some haven't weighed in yet and I don't mind rereading others).

4.  "Queen of Attolia":  when Gen tells Irene he loves her the first time.  

5.  "King of Attolia":  the assassination attempt.

6.  "King of Attolia":  the destruction of House Erondites.

7.  "King of Attolia":  "GO TO BED"

Okay, those are just a few.  If there is one I haven't mentioned that pops out whenever you think of a specific book, please just go with it.  I found it was hard to narrow down my favorite moments, so I just went with some that seemed to be "set pieces".

By then it had become her choice, and an alliance certainly would provide a chance to get the Medes out.

I think that's what made all the difference.
