A Quiz from MWT herself...

And I have to admit, I missed three questions. Great excuse to re-read!

Better than I - 4 wrong. (Mostly about the myths, which I have to admit I read less carefully than the other stuff.)

Same here. And I haven't re-read recently, so the names of non-main characters are pretty fuzzy in my head. My audible-obsessed brother finally decided to try the series, though, and he lets me access his account, so I can listen while I clean. :-)

I did just finish a re-read in prep for the new book, so I was kind of lucky there. But if there were any questions about the Gilgamesh/Enkiddu stand-ins from the new book, I would be super bad at them! :)

20/20 There were a couple tricky ones that I had to sit and ponder for a minute, but I didn't look up any answers! Phew! I was sweating there for a minute. I couldn't remember Costis' family name, so I just said it on combination with the options given and chose the one that sounded right.

I got 19/20. I missed the one that asked, "Who says Gen doesn't act like a king."

I chose "Everyone" because I remembered both Attolia and Costis saying something similar. But Costis ASKED "Why can't you act more like a king?" It was not an outright statement. So the answer was just Attolia. ;)

Still, apparently I "put the magus to shame!"

Yes! There's no way that Ornon hasn't said that to multiple people multiple times, as well. ... But, sure, not in the reader's earshot.

I got that and the mole-coat one wrong. I certainly hope the magus feels better soon.

Thanks for pointing this out, Rosie! It was fun -- I'm laughing at "his constitution is not what it was before I stole his sheep" and the concept of the god Eugenides breaking Eddis's nose.

[ibmiller.livejournal.com]

I still maintain that "Everyone" is the correct answer to that question. :)

[an-english-girl.livejournal.com]

I flunked that one too! I think what Costis actually says is "You didn't /look/ like a King", in relation to why he punched Gen.
Me, stupid...
So, so. "He has a soft spot for idiots..."

I got 19/20 and missed this exact question too. Only I answered Costis because I forgot he asked it as a question, and I couldn't remember Attolia saying those exact words, but I did remember she'd told Gen "Unkingly in so many ways, my king," and I didn't think that counted. I have to reread KoA to find where she says this!

[an-english-girl.livejournal.com]

Well done!

18/20!

Ooof, Question 5 was the hardest, imo. I honestly didn't even recognize some of the possible answers.

I also got Question 16 wrong because given that it's Eugenides, of course everyone thinks he doesn't act like a king. Then I was confused when the correct answer came up, because I could hear Costis saying it in my head! But then I went and looked up the quote and gosh darn it one word--"proper"--changes the meaning enough. XD

I got 2 wrong (gasp) but it could have been 3 if I hadn't recently been reminded of how Helen's nose was broken. 0:)

I missed the moleskin leggings one (who knew that???) and the quiz says I missed two others but I disagree. One was the question about not acting like a king and I'm not telling what the other one was.

[ibmiller.livejournal.com]

Well, I have a very good guess on the other... ;)

[an-english-girl.livejournal.com]

Oh, DO tell ;D

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

Checkers.

[beth-shulman.livejournal.com]

Does that mean one of those choices IS his name??

SPOILERS - sort of!

[an-english-girl.livejournal.com]

Two Costis quotes that suddenly leaped out at me while I was flicking back to check my quiz answers:

"If he points out one more tarnished buckle ... I am going to pop his eyeballs out with my thumbs..."

and:

"the hardest thing is ... remembering he's king and I can't wring his neck."

Costis!

FIGHT-ME COSTIS BREAKER-OF-CHAINS ORMENTIEDES!

[rouan1.livejournal.com]

I got 18 out of 20 too; one of which was the one about Eugenides not acting like a king.

[manderelee.livejournal.com]

Same! Same score, and one of the same mistakes!

#16

[freenarnian.livejournal.com]

Q: Who says Gen doesn't act like a king?

Sounis: We do.

Re: #16

[smallsotong.livejournal.com]

...along with EVERYONE ELSE

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

20/20!

The answer to #16 was Attolia, the country not the queen. Costis, Aris, and Teleus all say something along those lines.

The MoW's name is clearly Bob Kickabootus A. Loof. We all voted!

<i>Attolia, the country not the queen</i>

It really shouldn't have surprised me that mwt's quiz reads like something written by mwt... :)

I'm sure the Magus is very proud of you.
