(no subject)
I am reading the second book of The Emperor's Edge series and I want Amaranthe and Sicarius to hook up so badly it hurts. I mean, you know anyone else in the Universe would find either one of them too terrifying as a partner but he is actually amused by her (and protective) and she teases him and treats him as if he is normal (her definition of normal is apparently 'deadliest assassin ever with almost nonexistent morals who has volunteered to serve under her but is the most dangerous thing on legs still'). I need them to declare undying love. Over a pile of corpses of evil-doers, if necessary. GRRRRR. Do they ever hook up? Or at least make out? Or at least blink at each other meaningfully? Come onnnnnn, Ms. Buroker! Gimme!! Maybe she can cut his hair and I can get Full Metal Panic flashbacks.
In other TEE news, there is an 'interview' with Sicarius that Lindsay Buroker did on her website and it's utterly hilarious and not spoilery. My favorite bit:
LINDSAY: Hm. Sylvia asks, “Aside from Amaranthe, how do you feel about the rest of the team? I know in the beginning you put up with them because of her, but have you developed a fondness for any of them, or a particular dislike? How about respect?”
SICARIUS: Basilard is a competent warrior.
LINDSAY: High praise indeed. Anyone else?
SICARIUS: The others talk too much.
LINDSAY: I see. You like Basilard because he’s mute.
SICARIUS: Silence.
