- \n
- Jonathan and Alanna will get in trouble for sneaking out.\u00c2\u00a0Nope. Oh god, I seriously was so wrong about this. 0\/1<\/strong><\/li>\n
- The Bazhir will be\u00c2\u00a0reluctantly<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0excited about them ridding the Black City of the Nameless Ones.\u00c2\u00a0Nope. 0\/2. THIS IS A GOOD START.<\/strong><\/li>\n
- The Bazhir will NOT move into the Black City, instead choosing to burn it to the ground.\u00c2\u00a0Hahaha, WHAT. 0\/3<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Sir Myles will find out about Alanna\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s secret.\u00c2\u00a0HE ALREADY KNEW OMG. 1\/4<\/strong><\/li>\n
- One of the pages won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t survive the Ordeal. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m guessing Raoul.\u00c2\u00a0
![\":(\"](\"http:\/\/markreads.net\/reviews\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_sad.gif\")
\u00c2\u00a0Well, I tried. 1\/5<\/li>\n- Jonathan and George will stop being friends. NOOOOO.\u00c2\u00a0What. 1\/6<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Alex will betray the Prince.\u00c2\u00a0what the fuck. Well, he did attack Alanna! What’s going to happen to him now that Roger is dead? Don’t answer that. 1\/7<\/strong><\/li>\n
- DUKE ROGER IS TOTALLY EVIL. I DON\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T BELIEVE THE PRINCE. And we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find out in the next book.\u00c2\u00a0Yes! Finally! 2\/8<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Alanna will be in the hand of a goddess? wtf I DON\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T KNOW WHAT THIS TITLE MEANS\u00c2\u00a0I guess??? Given the first chapter. THIS COUNTS. 3\/9<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Alanna will save Jonathan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life by the end of the book.\u00c2\u00a0I wanted to count this on a technicality, since she killed Roger, but I expected something more explicit, so let’s just go with WRONG. 3\/10<\/strong><\/li>\n
- We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find out why Jonathan is the Night-One.\u00c2\u00a0Hahaha,\u00c2\u00a0why was I so obsessed with this detail?<\/em> 3\/11<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Everyone else will remain friends? Please? This actually doesn’t count because plenty of folks lose Roger as a friend. DAMN IT I WAS HOPING THIS WOULD BE AN EASY ONE. 3\/12<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- I will be wrong about 90% of this.\u00c2\u00a0Nope. More like 77%. I’m still awful at this. 3\/13<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Okay, so, bright and early on Monday, I’ll start the third book in the\u00c2\u00a0Song of the Lioness<\/em> quartet,\u00c2\u00a0The Woman Who Rides Like A Man.<\/em> Oh god, THAT TITLE. Here are my poorly-formed predictions for this book:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Alanna will fight a dragon. COME ON, WHY NOT? There’s a\u00c2\u00a0talking cat<\/em>, so why can’t there be dragons in this fictional world?<\/li>\n
- We will meet a new tribe\/race\/society of people we’ve not seen before.<\/li>\n
- Coram will die at some point during the journey. Look, I’m just trying to protect myself\u00c2\u00a0in advance<\/em>. There is nothing wrong with this.<\/li>\n
- Alanna will get separated from her horse for at least one chapter.<\/li>\n
- She will fight someone by chapter three.<\/li>\n
- Her adventure will involve saving a man! OMG subvert that damsel in distress trope. DO IT.<\/li>\n
- She won’t see anyone aside from Coram or Faithful who was in the first two books in this third book.<\/li>\n
- The “adventure” she seeks out will take up the whole of the third book.<\/li>\n
- She’ll make a new friend!<\/li>\n
- She will meet one of George’s thieves.<\/li>\n
- Butts?<\/li>\n
- The last book gave me VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO GO ON, so I’m really grasping for straws here.<\/li>\n
- Alanna will have another conversation with the Mother.<\/li>\n
- At the end of the book, she will go back to Court.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All right, see y’all on Monday! Or tomorrow if you’re reading\u00c2\u00a0Feed<\/em>. YOU SHOULD BE READING\u00c2\u00a0FEED<\/em>.<\/p>\n
