Janny Wurts: Are the Koriathain misguided, corrupted or evil [SPOILERS]

[Grimward]

Can't sleep...can't eat....can't work....must read....must read...

(Thanks folks! Be back soon!)

[Clansman]

Hey, Grimey! You finished yet? I saw you post elsewhere, so I am assuming that you are done, or you have come up for air!

So, what did you think?

[Grimward]

*"Grimey!" Brushes himself off...."Did I get it all?!! *

No, have only come up for air. Doesn't take Janny long to get going these days, does it? Been battling with time between sneaking pages and finishing my taxes (they're due April 15th). The posts were during tax times. Looking like there'll be a solid 2 hour block tonight after the rest of the household is asleep, however...wah-hooo!

[Clansman]

I know what you mean. Sneaking a few pages of that book is very unsatisfying, 'cause you're dying to keep going.

And no, it doesn't take her long to get started. At all.

[dekket]

As Stormed Fortress has a few very enlightening scenes involving the Koriani, hopefully we will have more to discuss once Grimward has finished.

[Clansman]

Okay, begrimed one. You've had enough time, and I've seen you post on other threads.

What thinkest thou of the Koriani now?

DANGER TO OTHERS WHO HAVE NOT READ THE ALLIANCE OF LIGHT: STORMED FORTRESS, BOOK 8 OF THE WARS OF LIGHT AND SHADOW. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS PRESENT IN THE FOLLOWING POSTS.

[Grimward]

Give me until the end of the week, 'cuz as amazed as I am, I'm still not finished!!!!

[Clansman]

Sure. It is a rather packed book, after all.

[The Procrastinator]

Clanny you are too kind. Grimey is clearly a slow, slow reader...

[Clansman]

I was trying to be nice. The gloves come off this weekend.

[Grimward]

An observation, if you will.

In addition to being rather expensive, there was a secondary price to be paid for having SF in hardback (again, Book Club edition);

......the font is this size.......

I swear my eyes get tired twice as fast! Will be ready, though...

And am I still grimey?!!! Could have sworn I washed last week....or was it the week before????

[Clansman]

It's just that your screen name (cool avatar, btw, though not as cool as Rane's ('splosion cat!)) lends itself to that kind of nick name.

Promise to shower when you finish the book!

AND FINISH IT!

[Grimward]

No, it's hard to top Rane's (and I've told him/her so). Right: Book, then hygiene...book, then hygiene, book then hygiene, book then......

[The Procrastinator]

And while you're at it, don't forget to blink now and then - your eye looks rather hot and dry...

[Grimward]

*Grim enters with 12 string in hand (lyranthes being rather hard to come by in Maryland), positions himself at top of a windswept rise that stands athwart the 5th lane as the sun sets, the ebb in flux offering the most opportune time to summon the Horsemen without days of flux withdrawal. Head stock down at tip touching the awakening earth of the Maryland Spring, he strums one perfect E chord, spun to the lane's harmony. Like lightning, the chord builds, cresting the Appalachians and arrows north to find the Clansman.

Grim strums but one more chord, and the barre D reverses flux, following the 5th lane down the Eastern seaboard until it intersects at the circle near the equator with the 7th lane. It crosses ocean and land alike, picking up resonance from the rising sun, until at last it arrives at the circle in Perth. It tarries but a moment to birth two slender tendrils, then dissapates. The tendrils arrive simulataneously where Dekket abides and the haunts of The Procrastinator.

As the Clansman, Dekket and The Procrastinator register the fine nuances of wave flux, a soft but clear message is heard in the chords.....come, Horsemen, come....
