Then (of course) I liked it so much I ran out to buy FHYA myself. Which subsequently led me to dig up the Vladiad. There was also another series I picked up because the second book's cover had a really cool dragon I wanted to find out more about. Alas, it was a bit player. ~M ===== Michelle "It's just a job.
