AT LAST! IT CAME ALL THE WAY FROM COLORADO,BUT I FINALLY READ IT!

I'm just glad Graham didn't do an Eowyn/Witch-King with Bryar and Farimaal. I seriously thought that would happen.

I think the "seven" that he mentioned on his blog are: Saegan, Bryar, Benjaih, Cheymonter, Malek, Rulalin, and Farimaal, with Tashmiren, Corlas Valon, Kosti and Caan round out the eleven.

I knew the Vulstrym were the fourth race, but I had a hunch Garion was Alazare.During the Malek/Benjaih scene, I thought Benjaih might somehow be Alazare, but I wasn't too surprised that it was Valzaan. But I though the quote on the back was Malak's.

I also loved the part where Valzaan admits his suspicions of Synoki. Aljeron's reaction is priceless. "You mean I may have traveled Kirthanin with MALAK!"

I was glad about the double wedding, but I was surprised at Saegan's crush on Bryar. Man, is he closed-lipped. I never suspected.

Overall, I loved this book. The ending made it all worthwhile--all the suspense, all the anger, all the frustration. And having to wait just made the ending even better. In fact, it was a year and eighteen days between my first reading of FoD and my first reading of AMHM.

Yes...Saegan was AMAZING! lol...and I loved him too. But...it did frustrate me a little that Bryar never loved him.

KT, you're a good friend. *hugs* I luv ya gal, and thanks for your advice and light heartedness.

it did... it sort of seemed like it had nothing to do with the story, but I'm glad that it was in there, because it added a lot of depth to his charecter... like, he isn't actually a stone wall, type thing... :)

I didn't really like the way he was in love with Bryar, personally. I preferred him as the, as you put it 'stone wall'.

I think the reason L.B. Graham made it where Bryar was not in love with Saegan is so that when Kelvan came back she could get married to him. That is probably the weakest spot in the books, because in the Bible it says they neither marry or are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven. But still, it is different in BOTB, and I won't criticize too much.

I thought that too actually. But then I thought that maybe L.B. was trying to point out that he is depicting a different world. It's the same with Benjiah as the Jesus-figure.
