It's the one that I hear the complaints about, though. The thing that always got me is that _Jhereg_ seemed more Yendi'ish that _Yendi_. I'm not a big _Athyra_, _Phoenix_ fan. But that means I've only read them ten times, not twenty and still re-read them occasionally as opposed to braving the library/second hand store stacks. I think it would be pretty hard to lose sleep over a condemnation like that. :) -Jot
