Help
So just read the bit where Nimander goes into the dragons blood and the house builder escapes. Is this essentially reopening starvald by creating a new house in dragons blood? Any speculation about what Nimander's blood being part of the house means?

So on the last bit, where is this bit Macros was talking about the Hetan storyline? Is it in this book?
Apart from some philosophical baggage I think the book holds up well on a reread.

Finished. I enjoyed that. Thought it held up well in quite a tightly contained book really. The extra meditations started to waft in so let's see how this compares to DoD.

This book is at the very bottom of my personal ranking alongside DG. It's either very depressing or very boring. Everyone in this book is miserable.
I thoroughly hated the story of Stonny's son. It only got interesting when he encounters the T'Lan Inmass who was the first of his kind to develop metal tools, but that part goes nowhere. Stonny's son should have been killed at the end if you ask me.
Now I will talk about what I found interesting in this book. An inside look into Kallor's mind. Having been around for over a hundred thousand years, it's clear Kallor is bored and looking for new ways to amuse himself. The reveal that he once singlehandedly killed two dragons shows us he's not the kind of guy you would want to mess with.
Challice's husband is apparently sexually impotent, since it's made clear they've never had sex and he's totally fine with Challice seeking other sexual partners.
Anomander's death convinced me he was truly a man worth following.
Other than these few bits, I really didn't like this book at all, and hated the story of Stonny's son.
