Three yays for Tiste with no sense of irony. Subtlety is often lost in civil war - so said Gallan, probably - but this is pushing it. Also, Erikson introduces a brilliant character for about three pages before they're gone again. Classic.

Also, and perhaps the most important thing that happens in these chapters: incessant flirting - we're talking pages of the stuff - and monologuing. Spinnock thirsts, Tulas & Sharenas have chemistry for days, and Syntara is one politically savvy High Priestess. Also also, more Urusander, and that's always a treat.

All of this, and more, in our new discussion.

We hope you enjoy!
