He flipped the medallion and then Pushed it higher, all the way up toward the ceiling high above. It came streaking down again, glimmering in the light. As he snatched it, he glanced at Admiral Jonnes, current ambassador from the Malwish nation. She sat in a special place on the Senate floor, where visiting mayors from Outer Cities were given seats. None had come to this proceeding. A visible sign of their anger. We will,” the governor interrupted, “require Melstrom, Hasting, and Erikell to sit out the vote.

So,” Wayne said softly, dangling below, keeping pace with her instead of going on ahead, “wanna hear my list of ways how women break the laws of physics?” And turning down the offer to become a worldhopper? Good job, Marasi. Sometimes the most exciting decision isn’t the right one. Now, let’s get into a bit more of the nitty-gritty, and go over what we liked—and didn’t like— specifically, starting with the very best bits… Nice,” Wayne said, leaning in beside her. “Some first-rate detectivin’, Marasi. How many old surveys did you have to read to find this?” And his head exploded,” Wayne said, “like a fruit—the crunchy kind, the shell all tough but it’s gooey inside. Is that how it happened?”

Marasi has also shown that she is a very good shot with a rifle and is part of the ladies' target club at her university. [5] Wax hugged his son, then put the sheets away reverently with the others. The boy’s sister—Tindwyl, as Steris liked traditional names—babbled in the corner, where Kath, the governess, was watching her.Jak was a better shot,” she whispered. “When Gud the Killer sighted on him, Jak shot him first—clean across the river.”

Telsin Ladrian: Wax's sister, the leader of the Set, a terrorist group, who has become the avatar of Autonomy. Ross: Oh yeah, I’d never bad-mouth Era 2. Wax and Wayne have a buddy vibe that’s top tier, and Steris is on the tippy top of my changed-my-initial-opinion-about-this-character list. I mostly just wished that some of this Era’s conclusion had been a little more…conclusive? Books #8-10 are set to take place "in the early days of computer programming" ... the Era Three trilogy, just recently announced and confirmed, is still untitled. Details to come. Ross: As for an aspect of the book I didn’t like, I was wishing for deeper insight into the reasons Trell is interfering in the Scadrian system, and while we got significant Trell representation, we don’t really have any greater idea what’s going on behind the scenes.Time Skip: About five to six years after The Bands Of Mourning. Wax and Steris have had two kids in some not-quite Babies Ever After; communication lines between the Southern Continent and the Basin are open and tourism is stated to be a thing; and technology has advanced, with electric trains, early 20th century battleships, and early ( fantastic) nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles being developed. As Wax stepped into the vast chamber—which buzzed with activity as senators returned from the short recess—he didn’t go to his seat. Over the last few days, senators had debated the current bill, and his was the last speech in line. He had secured this spot with many promises and much trading, as he hoped it would give his arguments the advantage, give him the best chance to avert a terrible decision. Hidden Disdain Reveal: Telsin finally gets angry enough to tell Wax that she's hated him for decades, seeing him as a judgemental, Holier Than Thou weakling. More outrage. Wax weathered it as the governor consulted with his vice governor. She was a smart one. Anything Varlance accomplished that didn’t involve cutting a ribbon or kissing a baby was probably her doing. She said MeLaan wanted me to try harder in the relationship,” Wayne said. “But I think in this case Jammi was wrong. Because MeLaan don’t play games. When she says things, she means them. So it’s… you know…”

Informed Attribute: Showing off the difficulty of pulling off an expansive literary universe, several of the World Hoppers are supporting characters from other novels… and it's very easy to miss their specific identities.
