What to read while waiting for your book to arrive...

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

While you're pacing the house, waiting for your precious copy of Return of the Thief, take a look at this synopsis of the entire series, written by Tor's Natalie Zutter. She does an excellent job of describing each book and how they all fooled us, and explaining the meanings of the different myths and stories. It's full of spoilers for the first five books, but I bet you've read them all.

More than once. Or, more than eight times, even.

Sophos's pockets

Wow! I never got this bet beofre: "As clever as ever, Turner embeds several mentions of the strange, narrow pockets in Sounis’ new wardrobe from Attolis, but he doesn’t realize it until he finds both guns. There is even a small passage in which Attolis tries to hint about the pockets and Sounis just does not get it, which leads to a classic Gen moment of throwing his wine cup in private frustration. But as always, it all pays off."

I read this article the other day when it popped up on my feed. It's really insightful!

BTW, can you make the RoT discussion thread "sticky"? LJ is giving me grief again, saying I don't "have permission" and other nonsense. I can do anything I want, LJ! XD

I never put that together, either.
