In fact, while I remember nothing else about the books, I still remember what part of which book in which Terrible Things Happen To Arutha because evidently I reread those parts a lot.

LOL! I'm like that with TV shows. There are some scenes that I remember oh so very well, even decades later, because I rewatched them so much at the time. Usually angsty/hurty stuff for my main character, of course!! :D
