> If anyone is still here, 20 YEARS later, I have something to say. Just got to this part and looked up Vella's character arc, and skipped to her scenes in book 10. She was one of the best female characters and Norman dug her up to ruin her. Unreal. The series went so downhill.
You nailed it, Elizabeth is the most interesting character, it is a pity, the author dropped her, although, I  guess she is sometimes mentioned as this "black pelted slave", Tarl wants to sell some day. Especially since Gor is also a place of eternal youth, it would be most interesting to see, how she changes over the decades...
