“You and I go to Attolia...” And Sophos hatches yet another plan, as the success of the previous section goes up in smoke – literally, as the Mede (or accomplice) fire the tent.
Apart from leaving Sophos and the Magus completely destitute on their arrival in Attolia, does the robbery on the road add or reveal anything to justify it being a whole chapter?
After a brief revisit to the route of The Thief, it’s back to courtly life and one of Gen’s all-time stunners: “The quickest way to end a war is to admit you’ve lost it.” Just what did he really mean by that remark?
And finally, we end with my favourite line of the whole section: “and you came in. And you laughed.” Is it because Eddis is glad? Or because she’s spent her whole reign refusing to marry Sounis and is now proposing to marry his spitting image?
