Blue Horse, Dancing Mountain and Hall of Mirrors were both from Corwin's POV. The Salesman's Tale was from Luke's POV. Coming to a Cord was from Frakir's POV. Merlin only appears in The Shroudling and the Guisel story and is barely mentioned in any of the others. I really thought there was something strange about how similar Frakir and Spellbreaker seemed to be. I would be interested in see SKZB do a Spellbreaker story along the lines of Coming to a Cord. >From: "M J" <saint_erythros at lameassbitch.com> >Reply-To: <saint_erythros at lameassbitch.com> >To: <dragaera at dragaera.info> >Subject: RE: Robert Jordan (was: Seen the other night....) >Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 16:43:35 -0500 > > >---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- >From: "Steve Hubbell" <usagigoya at hotmail.com> >Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 21:18:48 +0000 > > >> > >>"M J" wrote on Fri, 20 Feb 2004 16:30:14 -0500 > >> > >>...
