I think I was munching on a bacon and egg buttie when I wrote that bit! :)
I have very mixed feelings about Isolde. Her voice is like chalk on a blackboard and everything about her just sets my teeth on edge, never mind how she treats people, Alistair in particular. It also irks me that she has set in train such a terrible series of events. At the same time, I can understand why she did - in her place, I can't say I would have done differently to try and keep my child out of the tower. In addition, when faced with Jowan's offer, she doesn't hesitate to offer to sacrifice herself - something I admire her for. As a person, I think she's shallow and conceited but as a mother, she's a different kettle of fish.
