Mm. I'm twitchy about getting hold of the Protector of the Small books, given I read the prologue at the end of my paperback copy of WotE and it doesn't sound like something I'd like. I wouldn't call myself a Tortall fan in general, but I like Aly.

*nod* It is that. Cost me about £6 inclusive of postage, fortunately, which is more than I'm used to paying for new paperbacks, but it'll do me. Her paperbacks are unabridged, I asked to check :)
