I hardly think "one character, who is noted for the skill of her deceptions among beings who habitually deceive on a scale of centuries, and who has already been shown capable of fairly large scale deceptions (cf. 'Shiela') deceives our protagonist on an important plot point" is on a par with "Harry is actually one of those guys at the back of the room in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and it's all in his head".

Somewhere, though, JB actually said that Lash really did change, and it's not some con.

Jim has proposed a name and Anne Sowards (his editor) tells me the name is publisher-approved. Awaiting official announcement. If it does turn out that his original title is what gets used, it is TEH AWSUM.

I bet you know secrets about the next book that you are not telling us, you horrible person. You know of what I speak.
