I love this series. I have read everything that has been posted so far and I'mlooking forward to the rest of the series. Now I am about to start to read it a second time. ----- |

Don't wear yourself out on it, now.

Having read the entire series at least 4 times I doubt I will get tired of it. ----- |

About to start my 9th read through. Still enjoying every detail and occasionally finding new ones. ----- |

only four times! I've read it enough that I finally started working on an appendix for myself (not necessarily a complete appendix though). ----- |

Go ahead and call it a glossary then... decided it might be a worthy addition when you introduced unique military tanks. When someone else was talking about a cast of characters, I decided to try to add those. Spells, races, creatures and other stuff have slowly been making it in. ----- |

Of course the glossary as it is right now covers all available chapters and all available books, not just year 1. ----- |

Ah, Sahah Charboneau... the quintessential product of a single parent. She finds a nice guy, who by her accounts is a great lay, and ditches him to look for better dick. Rereading this series is pretty entertaining. ----- |

If you're re-reading, then you know she was not the product of a single parent. ----- Please Remember: The right to Freedom of Speech does not carry the proviso, "As long as it doesn't upset anyone."

No, she's not. She was an adult, and not living at home, at the time of their divorce. She cannot be "the product" of a single parent if, while she was being raised, she had both parents. ----- Please Remember: The right to Freedom of Speech does not carry the proviso, "As long as it doesn't upset anyone."

Very much like the pronunciation guide. I'm often frustrated by unusal names that I have no idea how to pronounce. ----- |

Thank you for your kind words. I hesitate to tell you that, by warning others of the curse, you have brought down a much nastier curse upon yourself... I can't bring myself to tell you about it, it's... too evil... Just... if you start dreaming about naked fairies all of a sudden... um... well, you'll find out... ----- Please Remember: The right to Freedom of Speech does not carry the proviso, "As long as it doesn't upset anyone."

Eric - I have some unplanned time off and decided to re-re-read WA. I started last night and I already have a question about Jacob Pendergrast. He told David he's been a demighost for ~150 years but is ~870 years old (we learn this in chapter 1 when asked how old he was, Jacob replies, "Approximately eight hundred seventy years. I have mostly stopped counting, but someone mentions it to me from time to time."). Having read this story many times, I know the average Wizard lives to about the age of 150 years. How then, do we account for the fact that Jacob was already 720 years old when Levi Daily's grandfather (or great grandfather or grand uncle or whatever) turned him into a demighost? According to one of David's Rimohr cases, there are only three ways for a Wizard to achieve that level of life extension - 1) prison life extension, 2) having a large group of, I think, the same group of 600 people get together every year to do some magic (but then there would be a large group of extremely old people around) and 3) illegally draining the life essence of people (like the woman did that David and Viv caught). Actually, there is another way we learned about and that is by being cursed to be a demighost like the one David met when he became a potions master. He met a demighost who was around 3,000 years old. ----- |

Just speculation, but I bet he ran around as a demighost for several hundred years before the Daily bloke that cursed him caught up with him, or found out he was a reasonably young demighost. ----- |

It is possible that he was turned into a demighost centuries before through some other means (we know that at least humans and dragons have curses that can turn someone into a demighost). Jacob could have been running around for centuries, got noticed by some Dailey 150 years ago, and hunted down. ----- |

As Barbarian and Icehawk have pointed out already, the story does not say that Jacob was a demighost for 150 years. It says he was imprisoned for 150 years. We have no idea how long he lived before becoming a demighost. ----- Please Remember: The right to Freedom of Speech does not carry the proviso, "As long as it doesn't upset anyone."

Given the incredibly ordered Universe you created, I'll give you a pass on not working out the details that far in advance. Every writer is allowed a Platypus or three. ----- |

Doing a reread and caught something that I’ve never noticed before. In chapter 11 after David morphs the dragonfly into a gecko Gwen says “Better not let Flo see that, David. She hates geckos.� ----- |
