Just finished this series. Excellent. I liked it better than her Assassin series, even. Very very good.

But anyway, a quick question about Amber. We never really find out what her story is, and I get the feeling she was a minor character in the Assassin series. Sort of a vague memory. It’s been so long since I read them, though, that I’m not sure if I’m right or if I’m just fooling myself. So what’s the deal? Was she in the other series? And if so, if you could remind me of her role there, I’d appreciate it.

_Sigh_ Bump.

I knew this wouldn’t be a 10-pager or anything, but I would like at least one response. One more shot.
