Seems like:

Pg 329, extra 'had' right?  'Was this what HAD she had' should be 'Was this what she had'?
Pg 330, missing 'of the' 'And saw one the Tall' becomes 'And saw one of the Tall'?

What's the error on those notations, Wic?
I did the same thing. Read it more closely :P

"Was this what had she had wagered on her mad throw?" Extra word. Should read instead: "Was this what she had wagered on her mad throw"

"one the Tall" - missing word -'of'. Should read "And saw one of the Tall stride from a crouch..."

Seems like:

Pg 329, extra 'had' right?  'Was this what HAD she had' should be 'Was this what she had'?
Pg 330, missing 'of the' 'And saw one the Tall' becomes 'And saw one of the Tall'?


Its funny how easily things like that are missed. I read the sentences twice without seeing a problem. Had to focus on it it word by word (rather than as a complete sentence) to find the errors, which should be very obvious. I do not envy those who edit such things.

So true.

Those are the kinds of errors in "scrutinizing" the draft that took sentence by sentence readings to catch.

I'm not aware of it being documented (though, I'm sure it must be) but the brain accounts for many of these errors in perceptual correction just as our barins olny need the fisrt and lsat letetrs in tehse wrods to srot them out.

Ha, my bad, I should've put some notation in there. Next time!

Errors like that hurt my eyes when I come across them, like a sudden discontinuity in the flow. Looking at Nil's post, I remember most of those like emotional scars.

Also, excellent job Nil!

Here are the remaining from the last 50 pages...

p. 443 “…but the image (of) Theliopa so…ruined…” – 6th line from bottom
p. 468  “Tiresome pendant (pedant). – 12th line from top
p. 484  “The wane (wan) image of his…  - Middle of page
p. 487  “The boy sought merely sought asylum”  or “The boy sought (…) merely sought asylum” - 9th line from top 

There is also the issue of the decapitants being mentioned as "...bound to his (Kellhus') girdle" when Kellhus met Esmi in Momemn.  Given that Kellhus has previously taken one of the heads and used it on the body of Malowebi this might be a continuity error.  It might also be intentional misdirection on Bakker's part thus I didn't want to say for certain it was an error. 

Gentlemen...My work here is done!  ;D

Ah, Nil. But measure is unceasing... Old measure is simply grounds for the new ;).

But again, thanks very much :).

aphorism formatting is all fucked up. All attributions should be in the following format:

AUTHOR, TITLE

all caps for both, Titles are always in italics Author is always first.

the aphorisms in the ARC are just willynilly formatted in a variety of forms.

Thanks, locke :).

The first aphorism in this one really stands out, eh?

Somewhere it said "Faminry" instead of "Fanimry."
