From Tolkien to Jordan, we have gotten enough god guys.

Gray King and the Falconer immediately spring to mind. <br />I agree, Lynn, that what happened in Lies makes both Locke and Jean very wary of getting too close to anyone in case they inadvertently put them in harm's way, and as is shown early in Red Seas Under Red Skies they're still on the Bondsmage's hit list.Elfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955473789404631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801846083942298570.post-45377259166252579922012-04-29T08:08:39.601-07:002012-04-29T08:08:39.601-07:00I think it will be very difficult for Jean or Lock...I think it will be very difficult for Jean or Locke to take on new members - they're such a big responsibility and think of how long it would take before any new recruits would be able to look after themselves. I suppose Locke and Jean must actually be feeling a little bit of guilt that they survived and the others didn't and so feeling like that they probably don't want to get anybody else killed.<br /><br />Lynn :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801846083942298570.post-78682009859092886652012-04-29T04:14:15.225-07:002012-04-29T04:14:15.225-07:00The Archon seems like a character one would never ...The Archon seems like a character one would never want as an enemy so of course I'm wondering how will Jean and Locke manage that situation.<br />And of course, I have no guesses whatsoever might happen next. :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801846083942298570.post-21703557922573053952012-04-28T17:48:22.369-07:002012-04-28T17:48:22.369-07:00Thanks everyone for your comments.

I never really thought that in some ways staying in Camorr would have been so tough with the memories of the other 3 everywhere, but that is a very good point.<br />If anything Red Seas Under Red Skies has more twists and turns than Lies, so you have to keep your eyes open the whole way through in case you miss something important!Elfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955473789404631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801846083942298570.post-40780871009352371662012-04-28T16:36:21.384-07:002012-04-28T16:36:21.384-07:00You are right that Locke and Jean have heroic qual...You are right that Locke and Jean have heroic qualities, like robbing the rich (mostly) and trying not to kill people.

However, if this book took place in Camorr, I'd be missing them something horrible. when in mourning, distractions are the best possible thing, I suppose. <br /><br />Everyone is talking about Locke gets mad at Jean for training new thieves because Locke isn't ready to responsible for anyone yet. why didn't i think of that??? sometimes i feel so dense sometimes! <br /><br />and YES, the boys most certainly are going to get something from Requin! <br /><br />Chris, are you having as tough of a time as I am not spoiling things? I thought I was having a tough time in the first book, but I was tempted right off the bat to spoil some surprises for people in this 2nd book! <br /><br />Can't wait to meet Sabetha, I have it from a reputable source that we get to meet her in the 3rd book.Andrea Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862046162890751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801846083942298570.post-63498786342792512622012-04-28T14:00:30.258-07:002012-04-28T14:00:30.258-07:00I've read somewhere that Sabetha only makes an...I've read somewhere that Sabetha only makes an appearance in the next book, but I expect to at least know more about their story in this one.<br /><br />I also miss Camorr and hope they'll return there in the end, although, just like you I loved the description of the new city.Alex (The Sleepless Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03083761152675156469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801846083942298570.post-35685216198488679422012-04-28T09:18:59.626-07:002012-04-28T09:18:59.626-07:00I wonder if Jean's little gang is going to be ...I wonder if Jean's little gang is going to be important later on and help them out of a tight spot. I enjoyed Jean's way of dragging Locke out of his existential crisis; it was highly entertaining, and I liked the whole "Oh shit, we have to flee the city" touch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
