Gotcha. Yeah I haven't read the series in over a decade so definitely rusty. The cult of the gentle mother was what Goodwin was in, right?

And I absolutely agree with that bit Kayte, I was a bit frustrated by that. Which of course usually makes me disappointed in a book. Do the next ones keep you guessing a bit more? This is making me wish I had more time to go back and read all the Tortall books. I adored the Kit ones.
