At least "Javra" is pronounceable. That's one of my biggest pet peeves in fantasy - god-awful names that one can't possibly twist a tongue around. Gets me all distracted, subvocalizing, trying despite knowing it can't be done by mere mortals. (Or maybe native speakers of Finnish or Welsh, or something - all those consonants and glottal stops! Good lord.)

Shit. Another book hits the dustbin, and now I have hiccups, to boot. Damn those fantasy writers!
