What miserable lives the Trumpers must live. They live in a world where everyone's their enemy, a world they created from their own weird narrative.

What type of bird is that? He reminds me of myself when I was a punk in the 80's. I still have that jacket.

As I grew older, I'd half-joke that when living in the US, one can expect any third person capable of turning around and murdering you. It's 30%, why is it always 30%?

You could make it big, artistic, and foldy. I could spread it out and study it while drinking a pot of tea in my workroom, figuring out where the vidame's leman was murdered. What kind of pointsman would I be if I didn't know the difference between the Point of Sighs or the Point of Knives?

This is a great series. I'm reading/re-reading it now (previously, I read a couple out of order). I'm wondering if there will ever be a map of Astreiant?

It would take a lot. They don't excommunicate someone for just being evil. People that get excomunicated usually need to do something that would seriously undermine the "magisterium" (god-given authority) of the church. Vance ain't that important.

Sure, he's good looking, but look at those collards! A man that can do that with brassica oleracea, Da-Yum! (I'm not being flip, I will eat a bucket of collards braised with shallots and red peppers, and then ask for another bucket.)
