post-KoA thoughts.

So I've just finished KoA, and wow. Just wow. It was great. I love how it was open-ended, so there's enough room for another sequel. Can barely wait, but I know MWT likes to take her time. Meh.

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot, and I don't know if these have come up here before, but I want to read what you guys think.



I was watching The Fountain last night, when I thought the queen there, Queen Isabella (Here and here), portrayed by Rachel Weisz, looked like what I imagined the Queen of Attolia would look like. In the books, she was described as very fair, and having dark hair and a coldness about her, and there were scenes in The Fountain that brought out those images to me.

I think Rachel Weisz would make a good Queen of Attolia if they ever plan on making a movie (and they should!), even though she looks a little older than the canon. She does have the look though, in my opinion.

Have you guys ever thought of who might make a good Attolia/Eugenides/Eddis/Sophos/Costis, etc. for the movies? Personally, I can't think of anybody who would be good enough for Eugenides; they might have to bring in a new, unknown guy for him. What do you guys think?





What bowled me over in King of Attolia, besides all the crafty twists and stuff, was how Gen and Irene's relationship blossomed, if not consummated. My favorite Gen/Irene part in KoA would have to be the part where she kisses him and tells him that she "loves every single one of his ridiculous lies."

Now that part was a huge surprise for me, not only because it was really out of character for Attolia, but because it was tangible proof of Attolia's love for Gen. Big giddy moment for me.

But I must say my favorite Gen/Irene scene is still the part when they were climbing the stairs to meet Eddis (QoA), and when Gen came to Attolia's tent to kiss her on the lips (still QoA). I have this thing for love/hate relationships, heh.

But what's your favorite Gen/Irene moment? If any, that is. I'm assuming everyone ships the canon, though I admittedly ship Gen/Myself, too. :P





Last question! Which is your favorite book in the series? I loved them all, and they all had their particular highlights, but I really, really loved QoA.



So, yeah. Sorry if I'm bombarding you guys with questions. I'm interested in different POVs about the books and the characters. Comment away, please! :D
