So I just finished The Fox and seeing as I'm the only one here, I went bouncing around the house singing "Inda's going hooome, Inda's going hooome!"  Just thought I'd share.  ^_^

(But I'm anticipating feeling bad for Tdor -- I hope that works out ok and I don't have to feel bad for her, though.)  I'm also anticipating a marathon reread of Inda ( Read more... )

I want to post more about music I connect with stories only if people are interested, but meanwhile, if anyone likes the clip of "The Tempest" that I included on the post previous (to me that is THE soundtrack to Mel's run for freedom), if you live in or near Salt Lake City, Utah, she's going to be in concert November 24th, and playing on a super ( Read more... )

So, I've reread The Fox a few times now, and with each reread, I've grown to like a character more and more: FOX!
I absolutely think he's a great supporting character, a foil to Inda in many ways. I can see his logic and reasoning, and I love his background, and motives, and everything about him is so... perfect. He's got motivation and reason ( Read more... )

I just recently re-read Inda to refresh my memory and wrote down a few questions for Ms. Smith.  If you haven't read Inda, there might be minor spoilers and I can't figure out how to do a cut, I'm sorry!

1. What exactly do the hair styles of the academy boys look like, especially the horsetail?  I was trying to picture it accurately from the ( Read more... )

So this is just me spouting some curiousity here, mainly because I've been wondering for a bit, but in Inda, it talks about all the sailors putting their hair in four-stranded braids. Does anyone have any idea what exactly this looks like and how to make one? And is it at all similar to a Man O' Warsman's tail (although I have no idea how exactly ( Read more... )

Orson Scott Card reviewed Inda-- here:

While it made me uncomfortable as he was talking about me in part--scrying me through my webpage, as it were--it's interesting what he said about Inda ( Read more... )
