Help[Opinions] Re: Phosyne, Traila, and Voyne
in reply to a message by Ora
I'm reading that too! How are you finding it? I'm not very far through and was really busy this week, so I haven't been in the mood to do any reading. I'm going to try to get back into it next week.
I was reading Phosyne as something like fo-seen-eh / fo-see-ney or something like that, three syllables either way. I'm a bit disapointed by fo-szeen if I'm honest. I wonder how her 'nun name' Sefridis is said, cos I thought that was quite pretty.
I'm not a fan of Treila (name, or the character just yet - no spoilers -not sure how far in the book you are, and maybe I'll change my mind about her - but I get her motivation 100% but she's giving me really creepy unhinged vibes). It looks nicer than it sounds, and I don't think there's any way to make it sound nice spoken aloud.
Voyne isn't an attractive name, but it definitely suits the character.

I'm liking it so far! I'm about 70% of the way through the book and it was around 50% that things really picked up. I felt like it was a bit slow in the beginning but now that I'm near the end, it's getting exciting and terrifying. I'm looking forward to how it ends and am hoping for an appropriately gruesome ending lol
Ah, you're quite a bit ahead of me. I'm probably about 20% through... where the "saints" first show up. I'm enjoying it, but it's more world building and it obviously hasn't really kicked off yet. Sounds like I should keep with it!
