There's only one mistake: (no spoiler) Malta refers to Ephron as her father. Now Kyle wasn't a father you would like to have but that's not a good reason to forget him. Probably a mistake by the translator but it could be a miss by Robin.
It is definitely possible that the mistake could be Robin's. From memory, rather than Keffria, I think it was Althea who was mistakenly noted as being Malta's mother (?) at one point in the UK version of one of the RWC (or maybe it was even the LST?) books.
Still, I agree, Robin should be told so that the information can be passed on if it hasn’t been already. I have just now asked her where she would like such things directed eg via the Newsgroup or via direct email etc and will let you know as soon as she replies. Great pick-up, Rocketking!
As I/Robin hadn't heard from you, Rocketking, I passed on the mistake to her (I hope that was okay!) and this is what she returned to me with:
Quote:...thanks to you and your friend, we may have caught MY error (yes, mine alone!) and it will be fixed for the US, UK editions. So thank you so much.
Robin
So, there you go...it pays to make contact regarding errors and, whenever I read that reference in CoD, I will think of you and the good we can all do together here on thePlenty - well done!
