And other people can click the links and confirm, too.

Or they can take my word on it.

I don't make a distinction between Amazon and Goodreads. Why did Amazon buy them?

eschwartz · 07-05-2015, 05:45 PM

I make the distinction that anyone can edit a Goodreads page, but only product managers at Amazon can edit an Amazon product page -- and they won't do so in order to play head games.

Yes -- Amazon product pages are more reliable evidence than Goodreads.

John R
Valkyrie by Adi Granov (This could be Ms Gard aka Sigrun, but if she
wore a cape, I think she would have to put up with Harry making jokes
at her expense!)

The 2nd one is closer to how I have imagined Ms. Gard. The first image was too soft for me. If you can call a woman riding into battle on a pony with a shield, spear and helmet soft.

Nice finds Alan.

When I visualize Miss Gard while I'm reading a Dresden book she looks a lot like Charlize Theron.

For me it is the more angular cheekbones and the fierce/determined expression depicted in the 2nd image. Failure isn't only not an option, it isn't even being considered.

The second one strongly resembles the Marvel hero Valkyrie.

I miss Leah. I hope everything is alright in her corner of the world.
I talk to CWatkinsNash on GoodReads about gaming semi regularly.
I haven't heard from Nyssa either. Sigh. That's always a problem about being a regular on forums; sometimes you have friends vanish. I still miss Astra, WorldWalker and Piper_.

I was just informed that Nyssa is fine, just very busy!
