I seem to recall Vlad being confused about beheading and revivification for one. Yep: http://www.speakeasy.org/~mamandel/Cracks-and-Shards/deaths.html#Beheading People on the list will remember other cracks if they recall them; it's my sense that the story doesn't hang together well, but I could be biased. Even by the Paarfi-as-Dumas view, _FHYA_ couldn't be as wrong as the Aliera-related-to-Vlad version.
