Alright all of Alisons books are great but one of them has to be better than the other. I think i prefer the Gift because it has more action and it introduces Rachida and other new places. Plus it has Cadvan who isn't in the Riddle much due to his fatal accident. What about everyone else?

I always find the first books the best. so i like The Gift better than the Riddle but i enjoyed them both.

The same happened with Dark Jewel Trilogy (which i've just finished) and LOTR. maybe it's a me thing.

i am curious though which book Alison think's is better. From a writers perspective i think it'll be interesting to know bcoz The Gift was the first, tis all.

Hmm, the Riddle or the Gift?

I suppose i like the Riddle more for it's character development, that's always nice :D AND the wonderful little scene on Owan's boat between Maerad and Cadvan (it's something that us M+C shippers love to cling to :D ). Yet, really, the Gift will always have a special place in my heart b/c it was first, and the book that introduces you to a world for the first time is always special in that way...

Not more Cadvan and Maerad stuff pur...lease, there are already too many threads for their dubious relationship. Instead tell me who do you think would win a fight between Cadvan and Maerad??? There was plenty of fights between them in the Riddle and Maerad said a couple of times that she wanted to hit him. It didn't take much to set her off when she killed that bard from Lirigon. Maybe Cadvan will argue with her and in her anger her mage powers will burst uncontrollably from her? Do you think Cadvan would be able to fend her off or could he end up as a bunny rabbit?

aww cadvan would make a cute bunny rabbit. lol well i think mearad would win because, the foretold one has to be more powerful then absulutly everyone or there wouldnt be much point her being the chosen one would there? i mean if everyone was as powerful as she is(nt that shes reached her full potential yet i dont think) then the nameless one wouldnt have even the slightest chance of taking over again.
