Because I'm curious...

What Fictional Character Do You Associate Me With?

The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

I have a confession to make: even though it’s only been a few months since I read it, I don’t remember most of The Thief very well. I know that I liked it and that it was a fun adventure until the last 50 or so pages, but mostly I remember reaching those last fifty or so pages and then suddenly falling in love because there was the wonderful twist and the queens of Attolia and Eddis.

The Queen of Attolia starts out with the level of awesome and then steadily multiplies that level of awesome by itself several times throughout the book. It’s also nearly impossible to talk about the plot without spoilers.

I loved Attolia in The Thief because I love cold, isolated queens, but I suspect she wasn’t very popular there, or for much of this book, while Gen and Eddis are both easy to like, and I eagerly love both of them as well.

Turner’s world is based on ancient Greece, and has a pantheon and belief system similar to that of the same, but that is still original and uniquely her own, and the books are filled with complex and interesting relationships of all types, not simply romantic ones. Turner’s greatest strength, however, is in seeming to let you in on everything a character is thinking without actually revealing anything at all.

And now for the spoilers.

Can anyone tell me if Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency is currently pilot movie + 4 eps, or if it's pilot movie + 5 eps?

So, after ep 10, where I liked the main plot stuff but hated tons of the character stuff, the weeklong break between episodes of Dollhouse had my main interest in this week's ep being the somewhat conflicted fannish threesome with prozacpark   and artillie  while I watched.

Then I saw this spoiler pic for episode 13.

I am easy.
