The just might be a few surprises in store for you. Yes, I think there are.
I'm almost certain about that, I think the Farseer trilogy has one of the most unexpected endings I've ever read. But in this book there are just a few little details you can see coming from a long way of.
*** SPOILER ***
Like Sorcor not telling Kyle about Wintrow being a slave?
"Can you operate it, Spock?"
"Well, Jim, this computer was designed and constructed 300 million years ago by a totally alien race of methane-breathing, squidlike beings who built it using technologies unknown to us and used it for purposes we cannot conceive of and then mysteriously vanished leaving no shred of documentation as to its operation. It may take a few moments."

Re: Quiller's Mint -- the Back Room
Ya know what guys? I got to Smarch all day yesterday. It exhausted me. I'm still tired from it. I got in nearly fourteen hours of Smarching. Today I need to do life things, so I can't be here as much, but I am here now. And I really need some tea.

Well, for those of you who haven't read the Hitchhikers Guide, be sure to pick it up when you have the chance. I've seen Douglas Adams called the Terry Pratchett of science fiction.

Fourteen hours, Jen? Uiiih!
Potential Hitchhiker readers: These volumes are slim. Each not longer than the prologue to SoSL. They can even be taken as snacks between weightier tomes.
Usually, to be completely unbiased and objective, you have to have no idea what you're talking about.
