A brief note about my reading material.

Man, Jim Butcher and Anton Chekov would have been *great* buddies.

But, really, you'd think it wouldn't have taken me until early in Book 3 to realise that "Tavi" is a shortened form of "Octavius".

(at the same time, you know that the guy whose alias is "Scipio" when dealing with a pseudoRoman legion is *totally* winding up in command. It's inevitable. That one, at least, wasn't a surprise.)

I'm not sure "anvilicious" is exactly the right word since the anvil took another full book and a bit to hit me, but yes. Once you notice, it's facepalm time.
