I've been reading (and occassionally commenting) on this forum since 2008, but still haven't figured out how to actually use live journal, or I'd make this it's own post instead of commenting on an old one.
My daughter has been reading the Queen's Thief books over the past year - she just has one chapter of Return and the last few Moira's Pen stories left. (We were weaving Moira's Pen in more-or-less where they fall in the timeline, while trying to avoid spoilers for the main books.) Anyway, yesterday was her 10th birthday and she asked me to make "Attolian Nutcakes" for her birthday cake.
I would add a photo of the finished product, but I don't know how to do that.
The recipe is the kind of fun world-building thing that no one would have "expected" to be there, but it was so much fun to actually have. And I feel like that encapsulates so much about this whole book - I didn't realize how much I wanted it until I heard that it existed, and even then it was even better than I hoped. . But now we REALLY "need" to know what happened to Hector, and more of Gitta's story, too.
