I finished The Sunbird yesterday! I loved it. I'm glad to see Medraut's talking again...there's only so much pennance one can do, and you were right in that it hurt Telemakos more than it helped Lleu.

The camels were perfectly correct. You were right in that they have to be hobbled. We kept them hobbled even while lettng them graze. A hobbled camel can still make pretty good time, though, so you actually have to watch them while they graze, and then tie them down for the night.

I'm hoping to hear about a new book sometime soon.
