Hello, I'm new to the list, but have been reading Mr. Brust's books since Jhereg came out, and he is in my pantheon of favorite authors. The Vlad novels are the only series of books I've read more than once. The second to last time I read through them (!), I did it chronologically (as much as I could), as opposed to in order of publishing, and found it an entirely different experience. But that was perhaps two (Vlad) books ago, and I haven't factored in Khaavren. Unfortunately, at the pace I read, a complete traverse through the series will likely take me a year now. Well, perhaps that's fortunate after all. I claim my Stupid Newbie Question (we all get one, just like a phone call from jail, right?) thusly: Has there ever been a professional/amateur effort to graphically depict (i.e. draw/paint/psiprint) the animals of the 17 houses? If so, are they collected/accessible anywhere, and if not, why not? Noam -- Big 'n' Mean Zero (Noam Izenberg - Don't mess with this Null)
