Two small points:
Merryn as Sev's sister: Wolfe has indicated elsewhere,
maybe in the PEOPLE magazine discussion, that Merryn
appears in SHORT SUN, and she is widely supposed to be
sister to Sev, Witch to his Torturer...
And Wijzer as a Scandinavian: isn't he Dutch? "Dorp"
is Dutch for "town", I think; it means that in
Afrikaans.

Right. Sorry. Given his syntax, I suspect Afrikaans, just because
what little Dutch I used to know, I don't recall as so convoluted.
