I take it that you haven't read Renegade's Magic yet? I've just started reading it and by about chapter fifteen, you'll notice that Nevare is describing the Specks in a completely different way In fact, he admits to the fact that he'd been thinking of the Specks as uncivilized savages and had never considered the fact that they might have a completely different culture and civilization than the Gernians ... In fact, Renegade's Magic seems to be a much better book than Forest Mage. It's definitely not as annoying as Forest Mage but it's still slow - I'm almost halfway through the book and nothing much of importance has happened yet
