I have 'Gray Victory' at home which covers what may have happened if the South, and not the North, had won the American Civil War...will have to finally read it one day. It has been on my shelf since I was about 12 (and I am very soon to be 37

Finished reading the Black Magician trilogy last week sometime...was definitely a good read but there was one aspect I didn't overly enjoy and I'm not going to tell you what (I'll have 95% of the world wanting to hang me!)! I can see why Trudi Canavan may have been confused with Robin Hobb (as per her Twitter entry that is here on thePlenty's main page)...there were a few similarities that I could see, particularly between 'mental communication' and the abilitiy to Skill. I don't watch Neighbours (!!) but I can imagine, and I was WAY WRONG with my predictions anyhow!!
ps Nuytsia, I got the joke if that's any consolation
