Alright what I'm wondering is why in the Dramatis Personae section of the book, that Empress Laseen is spelled Empress Lazeen. Struck me as odd when I first cracked open the book and saw it...so then I was expecting it to be spelled as Lazeen throughout the book, but no, it was spelled Laseen. Is there a reason for this?

"Ignoring him, she stepped back out of the ellipse and began singing in the Woman's Language, which was, of course, unintelligible to Iskaral's ears. Just as the Man's Language-which Mongora called gibberish-was beyond her ability to understand. The reason for that, Iskaral Pust knew, was that the Man's Language was gibberish, designed specifically to confound women."

most likely not. typos happen.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

I have the TOR trade paper also, and it's spelled Lazeen there as well. I just finished NoK and picked up Bonehunters tonight to start, but had to come see what this was all about. I guess a typo is as good an explanation as any.
