Some great character exploration again, good.
I'm very tired but hoping I might be able to finish this today, we'll see.

This might be a bit too much action. It becomes meaningless if we don't really check up on characters inbetween.
Very interesting parallels with Fangorn (currently reading) and the fairies of Vance's Lyonesse. I had read about the lore of the Fay in the Pathfinder universe but had yet to encounter them.

I'm liking it. The remaining cast is well developed and likable, the action gritty, the stakes remain simple but have become more personal.
I was hoping to finish it quickly to start A Clash of Kings, glad I probably won't have to force it.:)

Well...that 'too many characters' problem might be solving itself.
Some visceral combat.

It's nice! The hunting party is a bit large and I might have some trouble keeping track of all the characters.
But the plot is thickening which is good, since the basic premise was pretty shallow. Then again, that's part of why I'm reading this: an easy going, fun fantasy romp.

Should probably continue LOTR...but I really want something light and easy to read right now.
