I was rereading Darksong and found a mention of Elspeth!!!
On page 88 (in my copy) when the musician is speculating on who E. Flanders could be, he thinks Elspeth!!
LOL....
I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this :-"

Yeah, I spotted that too! It seems some names are too good to only use once :nod:
I didn't notice that in particular, but I'm wondering what it is with IC and yellow eyes. She gave them to both Glynn and Ember, and Marrisa Seraphim. I wonder if they are related? :-?

[act]nods sagely[/act] Yes, Ember is returned to Earth and goes on to have many children , who in turn have many children and then one of the descendents of those children grows up to be Marisa Seraphim. I have seen it.... [act]eyes glaze over[/act]

Btw; it actually makes sense, because she would have been Marisa something else when she was born :nod: XP
Edit; Also, Maruman and Alexi and the tree burners in little fur's dream in the legend of little fur and I think there was someone with yellow eyes in Alyzon whitestarr too. Can't remember. *EXCUSE TO REREAD!* Yay! [act]shrugs[/act] Blue, brown and green get boring after a while a tamora pierce already took the other two interesting colours :P
Also Jakoby, Bruna, Seresh and i'm pretty sure salamander have yellow eyes.
I know how wierd is it? Maybe she should start giving characters black eyes? I don't know about you guys but when someone has black eyes in a story I pay more attention coz its either sexy or scary. :-}

While we're talking about common factors between the series, has anyone noticed the simarlarities between Ember and Dragon? Despite the age difference, both are beautiful redheads who have lost their memmories. Having forgotten allows them to become better people, which is then undone when they remember again. They also both have 'secret' identites and an important quest.
Edit: I just remembered another simarlarity, The Void and the mindstream are both basically the same idea (containing everything that is, was and will be; and is used to tell the future) and I think a similar idea is used in some of her other books too.
yea, and in almost every IC book ther's a cat, futur telling, and something to do with auras, and at the end, the main caracter has to sacrifice something to compleate her quest
I've been looking through IC's books and there is definately something going on with yellow eyes. Someone has them in almost every book/series.
Ober Chrons - Salamander, Sadorians, Marissa, Alexi (and Maruman, but he's a cat)
Legendsong - Ember and Glynn
Little Fur - the tree burners in little fur's dream (according to Sian)
Scatterlings - Merlin and everyone outside the dome
Billy Thunder books - Rage and the rest of the Winnoway family have amber eyes
The Cat Dreamer (Quentaris Chronicles) - the cat dreamer girl has golden clouds in her eyes
Although it seems likely, I am not sure if there are any yellow eyes in Alyzon Whitestarr, The Gathering, Green monkey Dreams or Angel Fever.
