This is a general comment on "The Sword i...Hi. This is a general comment on "The Sword in the Stars" and "Errant King". First off I'd like to say I'm a huge fan of your books. I started with pre-reading the Door Within series for my then tween son. I was hooked and now the whole family is trying to see who will get to read your newest books first. I'm not sure if anyone has brought this to your attention but on page 347 of "The Sword in the Stars" in a letter to Abbagael, Belliken writes of Hagen and his wife Darrow Kurtz being captured and slain. Later on page 355 Hagen Kurtz was the best man and his wife Darrow sprinkled them with strawberry blossoms. Then in "Errant King" Arianna Kurtz is their daughter; and they are taken away in the grey hour raids. I just thought you should know of this error. My family and I do really enjoy your books and we're always checking to see when you have a new book out. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and i won't be offended if you don't post my comment.Stacie Littlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-9662474072816144792012-05-29T15:14:18.063-05:002012-05-29T15:14:18.063-05:00Those sound so totally awesome!

My brother wonders if a second sentence in The Door Within one would make it better, however.<br />And part of me agrees with the others here -- some terms (like Drefids)-- are completely foreign to new readers. On the other hand, new terms like those might actually be beneficial to the overall tagline... Perhaps making them want to find out what they are??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-76185047830024079452012-05-25T10:36:38.167-05:002012-05-25T10:36:38.167-05:00Arrgh.
