Passage to Dawn

[katikat]

I totally LOLed when I reached this part of Salvatore's "Passage to Dawn" in my translation:

Like every wizard in all the Realms, Robillard had heard the tales of Longsaddle and the eccentric Harpell family, the most unintentionally dangerous group of wizards ever to grace the multiverse.

Or

“Are you coming aboard?” Deudermont asked the man, and the question, or the sudden realization that he was not aboard any ship, seemed to break Harkle from his trance.

“Ah, yes!” he said. “Actually a good idea. Glad I am that I found you.” He pointed down at his feet. “I do not know how much longer my spell—”

As he spoke the words, the spell apparently expired, for under he went, plop, into the sea.

Harkle Harpell is definitely my favorite character in this series!

Harkle Harpell is pretty much the only reason I would read that series. I keep feeling like Wulfgar needs a smack and an AA meeting.

I LOL every time Harkle does something crazy - like when he sent just his eye balls to Mithrall Hall XD

And Salvatore obviously uses Wulfgar's stupidity to enhance the coolness of Drizzt - which is completely unnecessary *sigh*

Can everyone get over whatsherbucket, the warrior chick, already? Is there no other woman in the kingdom?
