Suzanne | 1582 comments Sterris is one of my favorite characters. I'm really glad we are seeing more of her (so far) in this book. And I'm kind of mad at Wayne for breaking up the wedding.

I love Sterris' ultra-planning.


Scott (thekeeblertree) | 1049 comments Sterris really grew on me throughout this one. Liked her more and more

Dustin (tillos) | 23 comments Yeah, I had the odd experience of really liking Sterris, but finding her sister to be dull and a bit tiresome.

TS Chan (tschan) | 72 comments Absolutely adore Steris. And I groan whenever it's time for Marasi's POV - luckily she sometimes had Wayne to make her scenes more interesting.


Suzanne | 1582 comments I'm glad I'm not the only one. Team Sterris unite!

I liked the small scene on the train where she got Wax helping her look for the missing three chips with all the paperwork.

This exactly..Being Framed for Murder was on page 17..obviously.

She's making this book for me totally for me.

Also..HOID! I wonder what he was doing with that coin. Then again, I always wonder what Hoid is up to. Putting Wax onto whatever is going on I guess, but why?


Suzanne | 1582 comments Haha yeah that page 17 comment was priceless. And carrying the gun...and the ipacac.

I also like how she carried extra metal for Wax, but in cod liver oil. Also, just 1 in case..the 2nd and 3rd one "because she's neurotic"


Tammy I am really liking Steris as well, she has all her quirks and she is ok with that. It was sweet how she was hiding her anatomy book!

I have been finding Wayne's personality tiresome, maybe once he gets doing more other than "trading" things it all get better. The whole quest to find the spike and Telsin is promising. I am currently on the train robbery part.

I like Wayne, except his jokes.


Tammy I enjoyed these chapters with Wayne and Marasai at the graveyard and wax and Steris at the party. The bigger plot is stating to be unveiled and the Suit is right in the thick of it. I wonder who the beggar was that gave wax that coin? Also a little romance with Steris : )


Geoff (geoffgreer) the better was definitely Hoid


Geoff (geoffgreer) *beggar


Suzanne | 1582 comments Oh yeah! Thanks Geoff. I love reading stuff with a group - everyone is so much more observant than me.

Normally I miss Hoid's cameos, but this time he named himself.


Tammy Well I still missed it! Now i will go back and re-read that part.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised I caught it. I think it's the first time for me without someone pointing it out/me having to reread.
