The three Paarfi books were published in the reign of Zerika (after the Vlad books), Norathar, and Norathar, respectively. They say so. So with the probable exception of below, Vlad hasn't read any Paarfi books that we have. There's some indication that parts of The Phoenix Guards may have had prior publication, so it's entirely possible that Vlad read them; he certainly read -some- Paarfi. -- Joshua Kronengold (mneme@(io.com, labcats.org)) |\ _,,,--,,_ ,) --^-- "Get your mind right and you can make a stick /,`.-'`' -, ;-;;' /\\ your wand and the sky your hat and a puddle |,4- ) )-,_ ) /\ /-\\\ your magic..." -- Granny Weatherwax '---''(_/--' (_/-'
