Balance of Power--Chapter Five

[Jerusha]

I'm so glad I didn't read this when I got back after my niece's wedding yesterday - I would have been up all night worrying!

I don't mind cliff-hangers, but did you have to leave the Council hanging on to the cliff by their fingernails?

Poor Tom - the women he thought loved him only needed him to be a pawn.  To know that he is now being used by her to destroy the Council and not be able to do a thing about it would be horrible.

I have a feeling of what is going to happen next, but I'm not going to say.

I can somehow see you as Kate, DR.

ROFL!!!

What makes that extra funny to me is that my SCA name is Katherine (partially in honor of Our Lady of the Stories, and partially in honor of Lady Katherine Swynford, whom I find fascinating), and some people in the SCA call me Kate rather than the full Katherine.  (Someone tried to stick me with Kat, but I refuse to answer to that because there are entirely too many women in my SCA kingdom who go by Kat/Cat.  If you're going to shorten it, I'm Kate.)

I'll take it as a compliment.  That actress who played Kate in "A Knight's Tale" is a pretty lady, even if we don't look much alike except for both being dark-eyed brunettes.
