Not a Q, but I want to say thank you for creating Penric. He’s proof that characters who are kind and compassionate can also be complex and riveting to read. His grief over losing a mother (and mother figure?) and his emotional scarring from physician fatigue feels very real. The conversation between him and Nikys at the temple in Penric’s Mission is one of my fave scenes (and the one with Chio at the end of Lodi).
