Circle of Magic/Funny

""I am not listening to you," Sandry told them loftily as the courtiers laughed. "Do you notice that I am not listening to you?" she continued. "Mark it well. I ignore you."
 * Despite the "murder mystery" theme, Shatterglass is full of funny moments. Every time Tris would deal with muggers in the backstreets counts.
 * When Tris and her group first meet the five year old Glaki. The first thing the girl does when she sees the strangers is to cry "Doggy!" and hug the Gentle Giant dog, "Little Bear".
 * Also counts as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
 * Any time that Tris and Keth snipe at each other during Keth's magical training.
 * Many scenes dealing with Zhegorz, from his determination to get Briar to take sleeping drops, to Sandry making him her secretary, even though he can't write. There's also a scene where Empress Berenene wonders about Sandry's secretary because he's so mysterious that her spies haven't seen him.
 * In Will of the Empress, Sandry announces proudly that breeding mules has been her family's specialty for over two hundred years. Briar, Tris, and Daja stare at each other for a minute, and then Daja comments, "That explains a lot."

"And I feel ignored," said Briar, rejoining them. "I am so ignored and unheard that I know it won't matter if I say, Why does it not suprirse me, that the Landregs breed mules?""
