ecstaticTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.
You can also start a discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.
Have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

Order may be significant here, however -- "cottonwood and quince" might not be the same as "quince and cottonwood", and the only times that lineage has been established is in the context of the /first/ scent being the same (I think -- you likely have better data on this than I do -- a chart showing all the scents revealed in all the books!?).
Beyond that, I rather doubt that King Gilad and Karen are related -- I'm fairly certain that King Gilad is a pure-blood Daoine Sidhe, and I know that neither of Karen's (supposed) parents have any Daoine Sidhe blood at all. It is reasonable for Toby to miss the fact that Karen is a Roane (since she has never smelled the magic of one -- which, in and of itself, is somewhat odd: the Roane in One Salt Sea /does/ See right in front of her, but no mention is made of the scent of her magic) but it seems very unlikely that she would miss Daoine Sidhe blood.
But... Who knows? :)
