Thanks for sharing that, I understand Hobb's mind a bit more now! 
There's another topic I wanted to discuss, and I'm not sure which thread it fits in, but I thought I'd mention it here. In DH, Jerd miscarries with a child who had a serpant-like tale instead of legs. Now, this seemed really familiar to me, like something similar had happened in the Liveship books or something >< But its been a while since I read those books, and I'm not even certain of why the idea of a baby with a serpant tail was familiar to me.
Anyway, in Jerd's case, was it probably because of her close contact with the dragons that made the baby in her womb take on serpant qualities? The Abominations are the offspring of dragons who spend too much time with humans, so did any of the books discuss cases where human offspring were affected too?
