RE: The to-read pile - 'thul - Jan-10-2012
These beings did not react to such extremes to any deaths in the books, but then, these beings react differently from humans to deaths. 'thul are uncertain about the "why".
Death happens. Little to do about it afterwards.

Was he reading A Storm of Swords at the time? If so, then yes, we're probably talking about the same event.

'thul cannot read them. So no answer is possible.

Is it common for family trees to be scorched by acid?

hmm... sounds true...
Now what sort of trees are harder than steel, yet have a scale-like bark?

Not sure why I'm posting this here given that I haven't even had enough time to read the book I have been most looking forward to...!
Still, after enjoying The Stormlord trilogy (also known as The Watergivers trilogy apparently), I am adding another two of Glenda Larke's trilogies to my pile: The Isles of Glory trilogy and The Mirage Makers trilogy. We Aussies must support Aussie writers if we want to continue to see Aussie writing into the future (our own or the writing of others)! At present, due to low sales in Australia, but huge sales overseas, Glenda can't get her current series published here Down Under. Very sad indeed!

My intention to re-read LST has been thwarted! I've been instructed to read 'The Hunger Games' by my dear daughter as soon as I'm done with ADwD. Anything for a quiet life cos I'll not get a minute's peace if I don't read them.
