I vote for spoiler protection all the time. Yes, this mailing list is more focused than, say, RASFW, but I think it's kind of unfriendly to do otherwise to newcomers who have not read all of Steve's books. Heck, I still have not yet read his collaborations, and would be annoyed to stumble upon spoilers. I also prefer blank lines (say, 16), but on another mailing list, it turned out some people's mail programs ate blank lines (and/or it looked to them like the message was done, so they didn't scroll down). *** Spoilers for Orca *** > > s > > p > > o > > i > > l > > e > > r > > > > > > Can anyone think of any instances in the Vlad books (aside from Orca, of > > course) where Sethra betrays her secret identity?

Vlad comments on this at > least once before Orca. Nitpick: She doesn't eat *much*. However, in Orca Kiera says she eats breakfast (p168), and she samples some of the raw ingredients that Vlad is cooking with (p112). > I remember finding a couple other minor discrepancies, but not > recently enough for them to be fresh in my mind. I don't remember discrepancies, exactly. In _Taltos_: ** pp66-77. ch7. p67: Loiosh meets Sethra: "Have we ever run into her before?" "Ummm, Loiosh, I think we'd remember if we had." - tky
