Super Spoiler Q&A Time

This here post is strictly for those who've finished reading Memory's Wake. We're going to have some fun talking about the story, the twists, and also some fun references and easter eggs I've placed throughout the novel! If you haven't read Memory's Wake yet, you probably should read no further. It's time for those who've read the book to ask any and all questions you want to about the story. Ask me whatever you want, and I'll do my best to reveal. I'm happy to clear up any questions related directly to Memory's Wake. Anything that will be a spoiler for the coming books, I'm going to remain close-lipped about So what questions do you have about the story? Did you work out who Memory was before it was revealed? Maybe you want to know more about Will's relationship to Mina. And who is the hooded figure who sacrificed baby Mem? Do you have any theories about what's going to happen next? Which characters do you want to see some more romantic action between? Did you work out Roen's "curse"? Whatever you want to ask- Go for it! Now for my fun- Did you notice…? Throughout the book I wrote in a few, sometimes very vague or obscure, references to things that amuse me. I like to amuse myself like this (and I might be the only one they actually amuse… heh).

"Ugh, is this real life?" A reference to a rather inappropriate character name from "Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire" is used. I won't reveal the full joke, it's just for those who love some Krod. "You won't have to walk far. Just down the hill from here is the Draper's farm. Good folk, lots of daughters. I know them well enough that they might lend us some horses." Did you notice this mistake? In Chapter 18, the illustration of the wagon shows the wagon driver to be a bearded man. The wagon driver was changed to a woman in the last draft, after the illustrations were finished. Can you recognise any of the symbols included in the Maellan crest, shown in Chapter 4? Fairy tales, fairy tales, fairy tales. I included as many subtle fairy tale references as I could in Memory's Wake. There's sleeping beauty, the frog prince, snow white and others hinted at. Did you spot them all? She frowned, seeing the fading black and pink color of her hair clearly for the first time. Of course it was dyed! And then there were the bruises. Despite having a pretty dress on, she still felt far from fairest of them all. And here's the big one… Did you work out Memory's "real" name from her life in our...
