Something I completely forgot to post a while ago...

DH found this link a while ago:

It's interesting, as one of the few negative reviews I've ever seen about The Thief.

One thing that I found was that a lot of the points about the book that the reviewer objected to were the things I liked best. For example, the lack of a strict historical background, whilst elements of various times could be found (I thought). In terms of window glass and gunpowder existing along with fibula pins.

I just wondered what everyone else made of some of the points the reviewer raised. :)

First time I read QoA I was a bit put off by the hand chopping, but resigned myself that I did have to happen, the next time a reread QoA I loved it and I think I read it a few more times over the years, but then the last time i reread it was after reading KoA and it made me kind of sad - that whole thing about the last time he would refer to Eddis as "My Queen" and the whole maybe having to betray her one day thing
