queensthiefi have to say again, you guys are truly awesome. really enjoyed reading all the answers in the last post.
before i move on to KoA, i have one more question from QoA. sorry, SPOILERS below (someone please tell me how to do that link thing, please).
it says in the book that:
"Politically the loss of Eugenides's service was severe. ....But Attolia hadn't had merely a political loss in mind. If she'd wanted Eddis to be without the Thief's services, she could have executed him. She meant to hurt Eddis at every level, and she had succeeded."
and later eddis tells eugenides:
" ...she wanted something that would hurt you and me more."
i can understand why having his hand cut off would be worse for eugenides than dying (he obviously wouldnt feel anything after he was dead), but why would it hurt eddis more and "at every level"? i mean, if i were to have a choice between having a loved one die or just lose his or her hand, i would pick having them alive. so what do you guys think?
