Hi folks - I bought KoA yesterday, finished last night, and have been dying to discuss with someone! I wish I'd looked for this comm before now. :)

So quick intro: I'm sprite, a woman, 30 years old. I first heard about MWT a few years ago, when I worked at Harper and QoA was going into paperback. The buzz for QoA was great, but luckily I heard it was a sequel and read The Thief first. Brilliant! And QoA, so different, was just as good.

KoA was worth every minute of the wait. I actually cackled when I found out what Gen said to set Costis off. And I was late to work this morning because I was rereading when I should have been getting ready.

What I found most surprising about KoA is that certain plot issues MWT developed in QoA still remain unresolved. I was afraid this would be the last Gen adventure, but it seems pretty clear there's more to come. Any thoughts on where the next book will go?

I laughed when I read the phrase 'OTOH'. Am I evil? Should we be allowed to say that here?

Took me a minute to catch that in an early morning daze, and then nearly made me sputter my tea everywhere. You are evil. ;)

That's made my day...
