p 134 - "I had been dreaming again of the lady in the chamber; her hair was held away from her face by a string of dark red stones set in gold." Moira is wearing a Hephestia-style headband? The quote goes on to say she put a check by his name, so it sounds like Moira.
Something I love most about Megan's writing are the phrases that have a fabulous modifier and a noun. For example, on p 142 "huffy silence" and I remember "gloomy silence" and there are lots more, but of course I can't find any just now. But they are there in all the books. Lovely, lovely writing that conveys so much in so few words.
p 190 - Gen has managed to get them where he wants them to go, and the Magus got turned around during their flight from Attolia's palace, so the river seems to be running in the wrong direction because Gen has taken them a different way--towards Eddis. " "What about this road we've been on?" I asked, although I knew the answer. " Clever, sly Gen!
And I put a "HA!" next to the line on p 191 about no one starting a war over Gen. Nice. I agree that he does not see, at all, how others feel about him.
