I've never seen an author who hints at so many things without expressly stating them. You have to pay attention to pick up on the clues, and that's part of what makes them fun to read. Or you can go to the fan sites after and see what you missed which is what I did, and boy, I missed a bunch the first time through.

It blows my mind when frazod says he wishes he never read the books so he could enjoy the show more. The show is but a shadow of the books.
