In one of the books, Polgara relates that the Dryad line always breeds true
on the female side.  there are no male Dryads.  The female dryads kidnap
healthy young males for mating (and fun!) purposes.

The Seeress of Kell has been out here in Paperback (South africa) for over

Really?  I've just had a quick search through my copy of _Sapphire Rose_,
and I can't find any mention!  :-(

What copy have you got?  (I've got the Harper Collins Hardcover, '91)

The Seeress of Kell can be found in most major bookstores (notably the 
CNA).  I bought a copy today (R27.99).  The price tag dates the book as 
August '92 so it must be very new.  The Sapphire Rose I have only seen in 
hardcover form (Exclusive Books, Cape Town, +/-R76).  It's been around for 
two or three months at least, but I don't really expect the paperback before 
the end of the year.

BTW:  Has anybody yet got an idea what the next series is going to be about 
or is DE going to take a rest?  I remember that I was able to get the first 
Mallorean books before I could lay my hands on Enchanter's End Game, so 
there should be a book 1 coming up shortly.

No, it's not very convincing.  However, he does go on to say that part
of what he did was that Zedar would never starve down whereever he is,
entombed in rock.  So he has been chained within some kind of 
sorcerous prison, not just the rock?

Reminds me of Bewitched, where one witch could not undo what another
had done...

All in all, looks like he may have stumbled a little there...

Why did Zedar kill Durnik anyway?  He could have just blown him across the
room.  But since it was Durnik's (temporary) death that allowed Polgara to
resist Torak, he had to die, and what Zedar did was necessary.

Why entomb him for all eternity for being a tool of destiny?

The first time he turned into a speckled falcon, probably cause he had to 
fly from Rheon to Riva as soon as possible.  A hawk probably wouldn't be
able to get there as fast.

Also there have been many times where a person wants to change into his/her
favourite bird but has to change into something else out of necessity.
ie. at the Korim reef, when Beldin has to go scout around, he has to 
change into a Seagull cause Polgara pointed out that a Blue-banded hawk
would look out of place on an island at the southern tip of the world.
He didn't like the idea but he still did it...

For Polgara, changing into a Snowy Owl is a habit, kinda like brushing your
teeth, or tying your shoes, etc....

The first book of the Tamuli is out in hardcover in the UK. It is called
'Domes of Fire'. Sparhawk & Co. are called to the Tamul Empire to deal
with some supernatural problems there. It seems to have a main theme of 
dealing with intolerance between races -- I dont want to give any spoilers
about any other details. Very much a case of more of the same, though.

Don't have the ISBN to hand; I can get it if anybody is desperately interested.

Well, I read a copy I checked out from the library, & it had a little blurb 
at the end saying to watch for the further adventures of Sparhawk & his friends
in the Tamuli (which is where that giantess the was so protective of Elahna

	I have to say, to my ear it sounds like Malloreon is more of
an epic...I'm trying to think of another example from somewhere, and a
complete blank...Obviously, though, the Belgariad uses the same ending
as the Iliad (epic about Ilium, aka Troy these days)... I have the gut

cycles or something, but I can't put my finger on anything. Anyone

Given the assumption that female children born to Dryads are fully dryad....

Ce'Nedra is fully dryad.
Geran is her son.
Therefore dryads can bear male children, but they'd take after their father
more than their dryad mother.  QED.

It states quite often in the books that the Dryad line "breeds true"
for females, so every one of the females is  Dryad. I am curious as
to whether there is any influence on the male children; namely, will
Geran's daughter, even if with a human mother, manifest some sort of
Dryad tendency inherited from her grandmother? 
As to why  Dryads
have boy children outside the Wood, whereas there arenone to be
seen inside- perhaps they do, but are immediately roasted and eaten
since Dryads prefer  human males :) :) Somehow I
can't imagine a young man growing up among all those women would
be so eager to escape...

Another small detail that bothers me a little is, where is Ce'nedra's
tree? Since her life is bound to it (as a Dryad) shouldn't she
show some interest in it?
