Teres

Oh, at this point she is certainly, though I am sure we will see a different set of "talents" in the next book.

ie that of pushing her hero past "insufferable jerk" to "pure evil". And in book three it just gets even better.

No, I do not think so either, especially considering what they actually turn out to be...

To absolutely no benefit or relevance to the plot either, might I add. And also it's right the fuck out of nowhere.

And indeed, if they did grow some further food, which they can do perfectly well, they might just get along better.

And the Banes are supposed to use magic to make things grow, no less - where the hell has that gone?

Nothing at all, and I am quite sure that is the point.

She's just mean so we can feel sowwy for poor wickle Azhure.

HERBED TEAT, OH MY GOD! XD

OH MY GOD HOW DID I MISS THAT?!
