Took her what, more than 2/3 of the damned book, to get to finally feel some responsability like an adult? Better late than never, I guess.
Yeah. Maybe she'd be less annoying if she did that earlier.
Nuh-huh. Just stare at it. It’ll heal, no worries. I’m surprised she didn’t poke it.
Or marvel at how good the Venom thing's protection was.
Two and lastly, am I the only one here who thought about Space Jam when I read SJAM?
I thought it was SIAM, so I thought of siamese cats.
What a sentence to say he’s dead. Of course, there are better ways to describe this scene with less words and more to the point.
"His face went slack and his eyes rolled up in his head. Smoke rose from the hole in Trig's neck."
That's my try, anyway.
I agree. If she managed to survive from the beggining up until this point, that’s great. I bet if TSiaSoS was about this, it wouldv’e been a different book and more treated as a sci-fi novel, like it should be.
Exactly, and it would be more original.

Haha!
Example, when someone talks about a boat in english, and refers to as a she, it kinda cringe me out because in French, it’s a male word (un « bateau », pron. « bat-oh ». The « un » gives you the genre of the word, which this case is male.). French language is awesome, but can be complicated to the non-initiated.
Like Spanish and German then. (I'm taking the latter in school.)
I referred to the Jelly as a "she" because I wanted another female character, and Lphet just sounded like a female name to me.
Also, people usually refer to boats and stuff like that as "she" because for a long time, men were the ones heading those industries, and many of them were straight and had wives back home.
"Maybe the reason why Paolini refered the jellies as a it, it’s because he simply think this through. Do they reproduce? If so, how to differ a male and a female one?"
If they're gender neutral, then he should've gone with singular they. "It" just sounds dehumanizing. (And yes, I see the irony.) I think of inanimate objects instead of people.
EDIT : lots of typos and rewrite sentences. English is hard, okay? :P
It's all right. Where are you from so that you speak French?
