Good review!

I assume the power player who doesn't appear is Karsa, and I'm worried the character who only appears for a few pages is Paran...

Was thinking the power player who doesn't appear might be Paran (he doesn't show up in "real time" Pat said, and with the hints he's dropped about knowing where Paran is but it not being Kolanse make me think this) and the character who appears for a bit might be Tayschrenn. At least, this would be my personal worst case scenario.

Actually wasn't there someone on this site who went to a reading and said that SE read about Kallor, but it was a flashback? I wasn't expecting Kallor to show up, but he's the biggest badass motherfucker in the series.

Does not appear: Dassem
Cameo appearance: Paran

Excellent review, now I'm even more filled with anticipation than before

(and a little dread too actually, needless to say if we don't find out the truth about QB I will be quite disappointed)

Great review Pat. I too thought of Karsa( albeit that seems a bit obvious seeing how his story should be continued in the Daruhjistan novel) and Paran.

What about Silverfox? I've sort of been waiting for her/Tattersail to show up again.. maybe she makes a short cameo.

I don't expect we'll see Karsa, although Calm did say he'll be there at the 'end'; and the 14th are heading towards FA's..

I might have to preorder now and hope I get it on release.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

High Fist Aragan of the Fifteenth Army (aka the Aspirinhunters) in with the save!

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
