Whew. That was a good book. Galen imploding all them Drakh...sweet. Taking down Shadow Vessels with one shot...Hella cool. Galen cooking himself to make the pain in his heart stop...been there.

I have one question though. In the synopsis for the next book, it says Galen is after 3 people. Tilar is toast. Elizar and Razeel are still out there. So who is the 3rd target? Bunny (snicker)? Morden? Londo?

Any guesses?

------------------
Marcus, "Well They said I was carrying around a lot of repressed anger.
Lennier, "and?"
Marcus, "I'm not repressed anymore."
 
Actually it says 3 enemies - that doesn't restrict it to 3 people.

Elizar & Razeel are the most obvious guess, since the Circle would have direct authority over their fate.

Morden is just a servant and is easily replaced - not worth the effort. It is very unlikely that Londo would be the target, he too is just a servant of the shadows.

I think, that the Galen's target is much bigger.

------------------
 
I'm wondering how Galen gets to where he is in the books to believing: "There is always hope. Only because its the one thing no one's figured out how to kill, yet." (thanks for the quote, Invalensname

)I mean, a lot more stuff happens to him...

Ohh, the next book is going to be wonderful!! I hope there's more of a Crusade tie in.

This is a great book. The best indication of that is how many more questions it raises and leaves open, than it resolves (of course, were it book 3 instead of book 2 of the triology, I might feel differently).

Now we have to wait until November!?!?

Yes, the action does pick up from Casting Shadows. I think there's more going on in book 2 than in book 1. You won't be disappointed. Galen is quite the surprise.

I don't recall if Fa is in Book 2.

I liked the first one a tad more than the second I think.

<table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2 color=black> For a few reasons, actually. Mainly, tons of people die in the second book, including one of the chars that I really liked, Carvin.

I was happy to see the Isabelle scene in the first one. I was fine with how Cavelos changed the scene from the Crusade ep. What did you think? </font></td></tr></table>

<table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2 color=black> I also liked the Isabelle death scene compared to the filmed version...Yes it was changed slightly but the book got to me more heh more time...but it was still sad for me. The otehr thing about the while time Isabelle was dying was long and drawn out in the book a number of things happened as she was dying...was different like reading that the spike was going to c5 c4 c 3 etc was suspense..

I am not happy to hear about Carvin dying i really really liked her

Yes, a lot of terrible things do happen to them.

It does make you wonder how the Techno-Mages will survive, or if they'll simply die off over the years.

Well, the overall title for the Trilogy IS
"The Passing of the Technomages"

So, either they are going to Die or have to give up the Shadow Tech. Or something. It seems pretty clear that they will Not be "Technomages" after it's all over, whatever happens.

Yes, I like cats too.
Shall we exchange Recipes?
 
It also puts a whole new twist on why Galen didn't want to take Dureena as an apprentice.

Morden would not be one of the three since Galen says he has no surviving enemies.

I forget, what was changed from the Crusade ep other than her hair?

I assume you can't buy it from anyone else.

Probably just a@#holes who didn't feel they needed to bother to look on behalf of some nerd.

Did it sound like the same clerk each call?

Morden is taking a dirt nap, isnt he?

Yeah but I still don't think it would be Morden. He may have been the face of the shadows when the offer was made to

<table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2 color=black>save Isabelle. </font></td></tr></table>

He doesn't seem to be high enough on Galen's list to be one of the three, after all he's only a pupet.

The only way I could see is if Elric took a special dislike for Morden and Elric took up the search on his behalf.
