I have to wonder about one thing...
The Reindeer People and Wolf's Brother were originally written as one book. This becomes apparent if you read them: the first doesn't really have a climax, it just... ends. And then the second one picks up right where the first left off. Apparently, it was split because of length issues, but look how slim the volumes are! Maybe things worked differently book then, but with Hobb's line of 700+ books, couldn't they have reprinted this as a single book? For some reason it really grates on me...
