SPOILER******* ****** Yes, you are correct. But in return for this continuity glitch, we get something very, very cool. We get a very revealing chapter about Nakor AND we get a glimpse into why Beleg and Child were given Nakor's and Miranda's memories. Love. It's that simple. Beleg, through Nakor's experience with Borric and Jorna, learns about -- and truly feels -- the love for a person and the love of country necessary to bring redemption to the Fifth Circle. Think about why Child/Miranda was shown the Paradise Lost scene. Seems out of place in this story, no? But not when you remember that "Miranda" is a demon. That was the history or her people, to whom she is going to return at the end of the story. With Beleg/Nakor and Child/Miranda, the Ultimate or Mind or whatever you want to call it was killing two birds with one stone: helping to save the whole universe from the Dread and also sending hope for redemption to millions of demons damned as a result of the original fall from grace.

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I'm usually not a stickler for little things, and overall I really enjoyed Magician's End....BUT.. Am I the only one who noticed that Jorna was actually killed by Nakor in Shards of a Broken Crown (she transferred to Kahil's body) after he killed Fadawah, and not the demon? Normally, it would be a small point, but since the incorrect reference to being killed by Jarkan the Demon is found on at least a half dozen pages, it irks me a fair bit. Kind of changes the story a fair bit: "What's the last thing you remember, Jorna?" "Being killed by you, Nakor, being bathed in white light from your staff" Best, Phil
