The White Gryphon

I enjoyed this book much more than the first one. I felt that there was less jumping on ahead with little explanation and more focus on the plot at hand.
I really loved Hadanelith, crazy evil guy is something rarely done right, but he was done pretty good. 

Something that bugged me a bit though was one person would be mulling something over and by some pure magic the person they are with would say what the other was thinking, often in exactly the same words. This was usually followed up with something along the lines of "almost as if [X] knew his Thoughts". Like?? It was repeated 4 or 5 times throughout and each stuck out as rather odd because, well can they or can't they? Are you telling or not?
