I think it's Betty. I only used it for SYWTBAW, and I can't find her name in that. I must have been confusing her name with that of someone from another book.

Favourite scene where to begin...

The Final scenes starting witht nita, kit, and the rest arriving on the moon prior the failed implemintation of the repulsor spell through to the final time we see ponch

i could bore you all with a detailed

rant on this but i've decided i'll spare you the pain

XD just kidding

but still...so is the sheep dog really the new ponch? and who did kit run to meet at the end of WAW anyway?

Ponch is in everybody now, so the sheep dog's basically Ponch.
And he ran to meet...

I can't believe no one else has said this.

The Oops scene. OMG, that was so insanely funny. Carmela is awesome, then with the Lone One walking up to her, "Oops? Oops?" LOL. XD

Oh, the whole last chapter two, it was so sad (I teared up), and happy in this weird way. I liked Nita's and Dairine's dreams.

Oh, and yes. The chocolate part.

My favorite scenes were anything with Dairine and RoshaunWink, and... *thinks* well, one other notable point for me was Ronan's comment about "performing Riverdance on my chest". I burst out laughing, which was a good thing, because I was rather concerned and uptight about whether the Guarantor was actually dead...or just vanished.

Oh yes! The Riverdance thing was funny! Smile
But... the best? Carmela coming out of the smoke in neon pink-and-green capris with an egg-beater in a hairdryer holster. Classic. Wink With Thumb

I know this has been mentioned already, but I liked when Nita and Sker'ret were battling at the Crossings, I loved how Nita almost said that spell to kill herself to save the Crossings. Thats pretty much why I liked that scene, the whole Carmela and the egg beater part was good too but it wasn't my favorite.

Oh my goodness, there were so many! Ummm... if I had to narrow it down:

-Ronan on Dairine's bed (i.e. "suburban hell and this dubious cultural artifact")
-Nita and Carmela talking about Ronan's "hottitude"
-the "cranky Celto-Goth hottie" comment made by Kit, in reference to whether to explain the whole Ronan situation to Carmela (this was my sister's favourite line too)
-of course, "Oops"

But really, I can't decide on just one favourite scene, I enjoyed most of the book!

PS first post, but not exactly new to the boards

I loved Carmela's chocolate sceene! She is such a fun character. Then when Ronan commented on Dairine's sheets. I loved any sceence with a romance between Dairine and Roshaun. I cried at the end with Ponch coming back. I loved the entire book but those were some of my highlights!

The Ponch Transcendent scene. I honestly cried at that point, something that I don't do often (read: at all).

And after that? The sheepdog and Kit scene. Another beautifully written evocative scene.

One of my favorite scenes that hasn't been mentioned yet (I think) Is the wonderful conversations between the different characters and the Hesper-to-be. I loved how Ponch was explaining the world.

And then the Nita/Mimeki scene...Wow.

Other favorites:
-Dairine and Roshaun together for what might be the last time.
-Meeting the parents.
-Carmela and lots of black-market chocolate.

My favorite isPonch Transcendant (I also cried there and when Ponch came back as sheepdog) Another is Nita, Carmela Sker'ret in the choclae situation, actually I liked a lot of scenes, I can't even list them all.

Um... favorite scene? I'd have to say when Ponch battled the dark wolf.

also, the black market chocolate scene. "I'm going to eat it all!" hahahaha.

aaaah well.

This may not exactly be a scene, but I rather like, "I would never lose my balance. I am a paragon of grace and stability." Some other favorites:

--Nita at Tom's when he has lost wizardry, which was heart-wrenching and well-written
--Kit and Darryl's reunion
--Dairine's dream
--Ronan's complaining about the Callahan women
--The "dogfight" in the Heavens
--Ronan and Dairine "bickering" about her many names

Oh yeah.... I like

do you guys think that Roshaun is really dead? His "death" seemed really unclimatic. He was there and then he was Not. (i capitalized "Not" on purpose. it's a referance to A Wind in the Door {Madelyn L'engle})

i don't think he's dead personally...not because of anticlamatics, or anything...just because...i don't. why kill off a character so suddenly like that? i mean, i get that sometiemws authors just torture characters, but there's usually a purpose to it...
