I was interested to learn that Vlad is a photic sneezer...and that, unless I miss my guess, Brust himself is not. He has Vlad looking towards the sun until he sneezes – but that's not how it actually works. In my experience, it's kind of a shock reaction: the light catches me in the corner of my eye, or I move from somewhere relatively dark to somewhere with a lot of glare, and I sneeze right then, or probably not at all. It's not something that builds up.
Do you know of somewhere that annotates all the chapter titles? I know most of them, but there's about half a dozen I don't get. (I have to admit I got the last chapter only after reading the first line of the epilogue.)
