Ha, yes, Mr Rowl is a lot of fun :) So many great characters. I was expecting the officer who brought Raoul to the coast to turn up again, but he didn't. I guess he was just there to demonstrate Raoul's irresistible charm *g*

I was not totally convinced by Raoul/Juliana, probably because we don't see that much of them together on-page, and so I couldn't help feeling like I was left wondering how things will really work out for them in the future. But I was very convinced by Juliana herself as a character. I couldn't help wishing it was her plan that saved Raoul in the end, instead of having the wrong timing.

I may write up a post about how reading the books Broster wrote before FotH has influenced my thoughts and understanding of it, because I think there's some interesting stuff there

I would love to read that if you do write it! I always get a lot out of your reviews. You seem to notice so many aspects of the story that I've missed. (For instance, I did not even notice Aymar and Ewen had the same hair colour, never mind any of the other similarities!)
