I recently started listening to the Audiobook for The Dragonbone Chair as part of my audible monthly sub and have really been enjoying it. Hearing it read aloud has made the text even more evocative. Tad Williams makes excellent use of metaphors and similes to convey images and moods. At times the voice actor Andrew Wincott's character speech comes out different than I imagined it would be but it is still very enjoyable.

I haven't done a read-through of MST in probably 10+ years and had totally forgotten how prophetic Simon's dreams were. For some reason I had in my head that most of those visions were after being splashed by Igjarjuk's blood.

What have others discovered on a reread that you didn't notice in the first read through?

Is it ever explained exactly how Josua lost his hand? I am rereading all the books for the first time in 25 years (doing audiobooks actually) and I know it had something to do with Elias' wife Hylissa but do they ever clearly explain it?
