Or was he just clueless to their rivalry?)<br /><br />I was kind of hoping that Daylily and Rose Red would meet each other in Shadow Hand. Would be interesting.<br /><br />Just a random note: a couple of my sisters just finished reading Veiled Rose recently. One believes Imraldera is Beana. *chuckle* Don't ask me how she came up with this idea. Perhaps reading Starflower first had something to do with it.<br /><br />Within your next few books, how many of them will take place after Shadow Hand?<br /><br />- HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-35847501869487406192014-01-08T23:11:31.100-05:002014-01-08T23:11:31.100-05:00Looking forward to reading more about Daylily.
1....Looking forward to reading more about Daylily.<br /><br />1. I think we got a decent look at the true faces of everyone there in that moment.<br /><br />2. I think she has realized that Lionheart doesn't love her and has asked for her hand because it was expected of him, rather than it being what he actually wanted.<br /><br />3. I liked this part (in a -small - way it reminded me of the parable of the prodigal son): <i>The Eldest said nothing for a long moment. His face was aged almost beyond recognition after years spent breathing in those poisons. His eyes were faded as well and not too quick at disguising his thoughts. But he smiled a sad smile and took his son in his arms, repeating only, “Welcome home.”</i>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13684809766255483648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-84228934119955049052014-01-08T22:16:23.531-05:002014-01-08T22:16:23.531-05:00I am loving these hints about Daylily and thinking...I am loving these hints about Daylily and thinking perhaps her mother might have a more pivotal role to play than would first appear. Or, I worry that she might have had something frightening happen to her that we as yet are unaware of. And, to drop a hint that she might die? My word! How very intriguing. I think she's the most mysterious and complex character in this book. I really appreciate your willingness to share insights about Daylily, for, although I always liked her, I had difficulty in the past fully understanding her actions. Now I know that there is so much more to her story. So very excited about Shadow Hand.<br /><br />1. I agree with everyone else: everyone did see Rose Red, but they saw themselves as well. They needed a scapegoat, so they turned upon the one who was the outcast since she was different. Ouch. So sad yet true to life.<br /><br />2. Daylily's dream has turned to ashes because she knows Lionheart does not love her. He asked for her hand, but it is just a going through the motions type of agreement.Meredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-29932145311941007792014-01-08T20:39:44.081-05:002014-01-08T20:39:44.081-05:00QUESTION!!!

The only true face we saw was that of Daylily, ...1. The only true face we saw was that of Daylily, Foxbrush, and the servants. Daylily was desperate, Foxbrush was petrified, and the servants were afraid. But I think we caught a glimpse of Rosie's face when, despite her strength, she did not physically stop any of her pursuers.<br />2. Because her dream was to prove herself worthy by marrying the prince. It never occurred to her to wish that he would love her...<br />3. 'Leo, who couldn't play a game of chess to save his life.' (I sympathize. I really do.) 'And later would bring its price.' '"Welcome home," said the Eldest.'<br />When I saw that Daylily paced through the room, I thought, LADY OF SHALOTT!!! : ) That was very fun to see.<br />My final question of the read-through is, aside from Shadow Hand, will we ever come back to the Southlands again? You mention books set in other locations, but I don't know if you've elaborated on this.<br />This was loads of fun. I'm sorry I won't be able to make it to the party tomorrow, but have a great time, everyone!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401287896327956210noreply@blogger.com
