Lariel's comment about sleeping with a satyr made me laugh out loud.

Personally, I liked the sequence that went something like this:

"I'd sooner bed an orc!"
"I was getting to that."
"For the love of Lolth, don't give it ideas!"

One of the great things about Elaine and her writing is that she is not only able to tell an entertaining story with a great plot and interesting characters, but she has one of the best senses of humor I've seen in a writer, which is very much in evidence in this particular story.

The examples above were great, but I had to laugh when Liriel wondered where Toth kept his spell components.
