Nothing in this world or any other deserved her fear. That was all very well, but there was a great difference between climbing the steps to the Shrine of the Unspoken and going out to buy groceries. Csorwe had spent a lifetime readying herself to die, not to talk to strangers.

I love her, your honor

Y'know those posts about answering eloquent language with a short, purposefully plain response?
("behold, I am saruman of many colors etc etc" to which gandalf replies "I liked the white better"? Those)
"My master is Belthandros Sethennai," said Csorwe. "The rightful ruler of Tlaanthothe." This was a shot in the dark, an admission she had hoped not to make, but Atharaisse's eyes flared with recognition, bloodshot and brilliant. "Ahaaa," she said. "That is a recollection that escapes us not. And what has become of the exquisite Belthandros?" "He's all right," said Csorwe.
HE'S ALL RIGHT

IN ANCIENT DAYS, all this world was veiled by a green wood. Now tree trunks scatter the land like bones and dead cities fall to ruin beneath a dull unseeing sky.

I've reached the point in the Unspoken Name where I'm wondering what the heck else could possibly happen in this book
We're nearly reaching Uprooted levels of "what do you MEAN this isn't the climax of the book"

Shuthmili could awaken a sleeping god, she could turn back the dead, and she had apparently taught herself how to fly a cutter just by watching other people do it, but Malkhaya and Aritsa would have spoon-fed her every meal if they'd been given the chance, and apparently she wasn't used to handling money. It wasn't fair to pull someone out of a horde of revenants and immediately leave her to fend for herself on public transport. Csorwe had to stay and help her get home.

someone whose only knowledge of lesbians comes from the unspoken name and the locked tomb series: so which one studied the blade and which one is the wizard ?

Csorwe and Shuthmili: Tal is a horrible little gremlin and we would gladly murder him most days
Someone else: is mean to Tal
Csorwe and Shuthmili: how dare you, that's our horrible little gremlin!!
