In context from the book (no spoilers, unless you consider knowing the names of two characters a spoiler... in which case, you're far more spoiler-sensitive than I am, and you probably won't be happy reading my LJ):
[Ingrey said] "I thought the Bastard was the god of poetry."I'm about 2/3 of the way through the book and would definitely recommend it. Although you don't absolutely need to have read The Curse of Chalion or Paladin of Souls (so far, no characters from those books have appeared, and I think it's not even set at the same time), you'd probably enjoy it more if you have, as she's not going into nearly as much detail about the theology of the five gods in this one as she did in the previous two.
"Oh, Him, too, aye, for drinking songs and such. And for those great songs of when the walls come crashing down and all is burning, aye, that make your hairs all stand up, those are fine!" Jokol waved his arms to mime horripilating tragedies suitable for epic verse.
