ooh, I'm glad you felt the way I did about The King of Attolia - for me, it's the magic one, and it makes books 1 and 2 more intriguing going backward.
4, I think, is structurally stuck with being a 1 or 2 for future books, though it had a good deal of charm.
I will have to email you my thoughts on White Cat, but I sort of want to wait till after you've read it, actually. I do admire Holly Black's short story writing a lot, too. I think she's very good with them, which not all novelists are.
And since I'm reading LJ backwards, congratulations on getting more feel of movement in your Horrible Middles at last.
