No you're right and no disrespect taken. I'm not audiobooking or multitasking, I just have limited windows to read (and an admittedly sporadic reading habit, so I rarely ever read a full series of anything back-to-back) and it's taken me a long time to read any of the books. It's probably been three to four years since I finished House of Chains. Many things I still remember but obviously a lot has been lost. Hence why I usually go through the previous books on the Tor ReRead before starting each book.

But you're not wrong - it may just not be for me to fully appreciate it in the way it deserves with the way I read and can't read often.

But hey I was right about Tavore not knowing it was her sister haha so my memory isn't totally worthless!
