I just finished my reread of ACoK and was musing about dear, dear Sophos and his...
Beard.
He's gone from a sweet, niave boy to a ruthless man, fighting battles and shooting ambassadors. Well, those thoughts reminded me of the kerfluffle about the book cover, when ACoK first was released in 2010. Remember?
Deirdre's post about Vince Natale's cover art, including the Orlando Bloom Sophos. Tiegirl's Absolutely Accurate Description of the Back-and-Forth Between Sounis and Greenwillow. Oh, and that made me think of
Emily B. Martin and her musings about Eugenides and his beard. Really, so many references to beards--I haven't even mentioned Nahuserish and his forked red beard.
