[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 9439667, member: 1788"] I've probably read this book long ago but don't remember it. Anyways, just started. Wizard rolling into Solace. Meets a "blonde haired blued eyed" boy named Sturm. Blonde haired? Hair can darken with age so sure. I guess. [ATTACH type="full"]377215[/ATTACH] My biggest "Huh?" is when the Wiz meet Kitiara. Who is apparently a full-figured woman...... of 13. 13. Part of me is very WTF but also I guess it's leaning into the Medieval style time period. Kit is raising her brothers (who are 6 years old) and she's already a well trained fighter who wants to go see the world. At 13. She's been training her 6 year old brothers how to fight with swords (Raist not doing to well here). They are 6. Yeah you had to "grow up" faster in this time periods and 13 may as well have been adult age but "full-figured" at 13? And it used as a descriptor? And I get one human develops different from each other. Some faster and some slower but to use it as a description and point out she's 13. I can only assume at this point that this is the Wizards description (as it's his internal monologue) and may not reflect reality. But all of it comes off as "while young they are not". Kit is ready to leave home at 13 and already well trained. Her brothers are 6 and training for their jobs. "Caramon will be fine when I'm gone" He's 6. The ages seem really off going with the descriptions. It's kind of weird. But i know this is written by one of my fave authors so I have trust. [/QUOTE]
