Probably a mistake by the translator but it could be a miss by Robin. Here is the response I received from Robin: Quote: Rocketking, I thought I'd allow you to contact Robin yourself to share your find, so I did not actually let her know the mistake. You can get in touch with her via her Newsgroup here. I know that she will be thrilled to have you join the group! ![]()

Ahh, yes... too right you are, Farseer. I don't know how I messed up "well" versus "fountain" hahah but this, most-certainly, is a fountain... not a well. ![]() You're correct in your assumption of how the well worked (and that it is, in fact, a well). I recall one of the memories Sintara has is that the bucket had to go deep below the "regular water" in order to plunge in to the special liquid that is so heady and fulfilling to them and that it is, indeed, pulled up bucket by bucket and emptied in to a large shallow bowl for the dragons to daintily sip from (in what I imagine is much more elegant than upending a bucket!). ![]() I can't wait for this next book, gah! edit: Wait wait wait wait wait. Farseer... you have direct contact with RH!? How have I missed this important detail? How do you have contact with her!? ![]()

Jumping in the car for yet another long drive (only got back late last night!) so, quick response, feel free to follow the above Newsgroup link and have direct contact with our Tangle Leader yourself. All are welcome in the Newsgroup. You can also comment on posts Robin makes on her site and she happily responds - a lovely and down-to-earth lady! ![]()

Oh oops, must have missed that link. Thanks. ![]() This newsgroup webpage is interesting. It's very... old-fashioned net & I'm not even quite sure what to do here, lol.

Probably a mistake by the translator but it could be a miss by Robin. 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. 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! ![]()

Indeed. Well done.

Thank you Farseer! it actually made me blush to be thanked by Robin herself! Oh and thanks for welcoming me AND sorry for waiting so long with responding. I almost forgot about me posting here. If someone has a question about the story, feel free to ask. Maybe I can answer them. (if you don't care about spoilers)
