Tortall Universe/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Angry Daine unleashing skeleton zombie dinosaurs = Crowning Moment to rule them all in these series.
  • The last bit of Ulasim's speech after the riot always got to this troper for some reason. "Any child knows it is better to swim with the tide than against it. We attack in force at dawn."
  • The Growl in Terrier.

I'd heard of a Growl, when Dogs took up a challenge. It meant ill for the Rats that made them voice it. But it was one thing to hear of it, another thing to sit in the Mantel and Pullet and hear that rumbling snarl come from dozens of throats.

  • Alanna's duel against Dain of Melor. She's only a squire at the time and beats the snot out of him after her breaks the rules and tries to kill her. All with her left hand.
    • Which is actually related to another Crowning Moment of Awesome, namely learning to sword fight with her left hand and a too heavy sword after her right arm is broken.
