Those who know of the inns and are allowed to keep that knowledge are usually welcome at the inns. For example, Officer Marais will never have to worry about lodging if he is in a city with an inn. Ilona, Innkeeper Questions,part 1
Do you know enough about the inns to be welcome for a stay? Take the Innkeeper Chronicles Trivia Quiz test below to find out!

So fun!
50%. Time for a re-read.
I agree. I can stay at the Inn, but some of those questions I just barely remembered.
Me too. I’m barely remembering things! Not the worst goal in the world! I was already planning to re read a bu ch of other books so I’ll add these to the pile.
Me three – some answers I couldn’t decide between 2.
Rereading very soon.
omg me too!
Yep. Going on a cruise and couldn’t decide which IA series to read. My wrong answers sent me to Innkeeper.
Same. lol
Gertrude hunt welcomes you
That was so much fun!
Oooh that was fun! “The kitty cats” and “Miaomiaos of purrs” made my morning.
+1! But it’s the afternoon here ????
+1 I definitely wanted to choose the wrong answer just for the Meomeows ????
I laughed cuz like it is very obvious what part they expected folks to remember. And the kitty puns!!!
And then I read the real name outloud and realized.. they are cat battle sounds ????????????
OMG NOW I NEED A COMPLETE RE-READ.
I was thinking the exact same thing ????
Me, too!
Urgh 62.5 first time round .. time to reread lol
Me too. And yes time for a reread
Same! But still allowed at the inn so… XD
Snap.
15 of 16 because I didn’t know Maud’s father’s name. Shame on me.
Same here – I had a 50 /50 chance on my guess and got it wrong.
Still, not feeling *too* bad about my score.
+1, a meal cooked by Orro would be divine
Me too!
SAME! Had no idea it was Charles. Are we ever going to learn more about this guy?
Per Ilona: “This dude isn’t that important. He and Helen split up. He has a new family. He isn’t interested in his children and they wrote him off.” https://ilona-andrews.com/2021/innkeeper-questions-part-1/
I used it more as a pretext for people to discover Gerard Demille and Helen Meet. And something that isn’t easily searchable in the books mwahahahha ????
I thought he was unnamed. So I guessed either Micheal. Only question I missed. I love the innkeeper series! ????
Me neither. I didn’t think it was known, to be honest. I thought it showed as ‘not known’ in the family tree. Ah well, I’ll need to re-read when Gerard and Helen meet. I got the rest of them, but I’m not sure what that says about me considering I struggle to remember to call the right child by the right name, or indeed most important things in daily life ????
It did show “Unknown” in the family tree image. It’s a fan designed image (used with permission) and it gave me the idea for the question ????.
I think his name is mentioned in Helen’s conversation with the realtor, who is showing her the house in “Gerard and Helen Meet” short story.
And Klaus used to be “Charlie” 😉
Same. I couldn’t remember if it was Charles or Michael and I chose wrong lol.
Guessing between those two too, got it wrong.. and the stars one…like the 5 star in my heart…and after last book wasn’t sure if they got upgraded..I can still stay so happy
15/16 I missed the under marshal question.
I want to blame it on it being 1am in Australia!!! That was so fun!! Ty!!
Now, that totally brightened up a rainy Monday – huge thanks!
It’s nice to be welcome, Thank You.
So much fun! But, I didn’t think we knew Klaus and Maude’s father’s name.
“I understand that right now Charles is paying child support and your business is relatively secure but that could change. My mother was a single parent. We grew up terrified that she would lose her job, because that meant we would become homeless. I don’t want to see you in the same situation.”

🙂 Hope this helps.
OMG I thought I had read everything IA had ever published/released. How was I oblivious to the existence of “Gerard Demille and Helen Meet” until now?! Off to read that now….
I’ve put together all the free fiction stories and snippets here, just in case there are more treasures to find 🙂 https://ilona-andrews.com/2021/friday-basics-and-a-list/
SWEET! THANK YOU ☺️
Thank you very much
Fantastic, because somehow I had missed this one. I loved it and it just makes me want more
Thank you so much – I too hadn’t read about them meeting.
I got it when you first released it. You are and were totally AWESOME for doing that. I had looked on the website for that kind of thing and was very disappointed when I didn’t find it. Thank you so much. Every little IA story/snippet is/was AWESOME. ????☝️❤
Is the 6 you old boy named Charlie in the story a.k.a. Klaus?
Yes 🙂
I wasn’t sure between Charles and Michael but I did get it right
10 of 16. The shame, the shame.
????????. In my defense, it’s been awhile and 1,000 books later.
Don’t feel bad. I got 11 out 16. Some things stick and other stuff doesn’t. Plus that score came right after work, and my head being fuzzy from doing calculations and graphs.
3/4 right. I get to stay at the inn.
Same 12 of 16 right
Some I realy couldn’t remember
Charles I guessed correctly
Love it! And I don’t care what the “official” rating of Gertrude Hunt is, I’m sticking with my option 😉
Much like Jon Snow, the Assembly knows nothing 😉
Ghehehe XD
Also, I hope you weren’t planning on doing statistics stuff to the submissions, because I just retook it a few times purposefully getting all the stuff wrong or right just to see how that changed the text in the results – and I’m probably alone in that, knowing the BDH :’D
😀 No data analysis plans have been harmed.
For the curious (were)cats, there are only 2 text results- over 50% and under 50% 🙂 .
So long as the denominator stays the same, we could make the 50% mark over and over if we get 8 questions right. Doesn’t matter which questions to get right, so long it’s 8 of them. ????
I like your thinking 😉
Well I got over 50%. 11/16. Some I just couldn’t remember. And that is fine~ this means I have more to rediscover on my next read through.
Exactly! I knew it was 2.5 stars, but it should be 5 and they are gnome botherers! ????
+1
The last noted was 2.5, but surely after keeping the Hiru safe and containing the Drifen battle, they should give her at least a 1/2 a star?
Where exactly can I find that Otubar is the Undermarshall? I do not remember this. ????
“Nuan Cee turned to Otubar. “Does the Under Marshal agree?”
Oh crap.
Otubar stared back at the Merchant. “I’m standing here with her, am I not?”
Andrews, Ilona. Sweep of the Blade, Innkeeper Chronicles 4. NYLA Publishing, 2019. Kindle edition, page 248
Hope this helped 🙂
When I read that part, I laughed so hard. ????????????????????
Oh! I missed the significance of the sentence completely! Thank you! ????????????
My brain had the mental equivalent of a sharp hook into a water hazard for that question…
For some reason I was thinking the “Undermarshall” was Karat’s uncle(or father(I forget exactly)) the “secret” position that picks up the ball if the Marshal gets killed … which was NONE of the available options.
I didn’t take the time to look up his name or the name of that position was but I remember that it was the injured knight (book2) uncle of Armand & the focus of the pirate vampires bridesmaids when they were attempting to social hack info from Maud because they assumed she was a clueless human in sweep of the blade … I was also in the water with my shot because I thought that Otubar was just “The Consort”of Arlands mother … (as a balance showing that a Consort didn’t have to be female only like Kate was at one time in the Pack)
Karat’s father/Arland’s uncle is Lord Soren ????.
Ya I looked it up …thanks!
However my brain was still thinking that Lord Soren was the undermarshal because in sweep of the blade … right afterMaud figured out that the Pirate Bridezilla Vampires were attempting to figure out the Identity of …the undermarshal
Arland had a burning need to speak with him … It was a connection that my brain made every time I read the book (3++++) times …that was incorrect each time ha ha ha … I think it was reinforced (in my head)by other bits and while Otubar while still a bad ass Vampire Knight felt like sort of a pretty boy arm candy to his other half (Arlands Mother)
Which reinforced an image of Maud’s Bad-assery from the sparring match with her no chance of winning but she survived it. Loved the later statement later by Arland to Mom that if it was for real that the straight fight option wouldn’t have ever happened.
Thank you, mod R for the post. I enjoyed your quiz. However, obviously time for me to read again.
You should never argue with Letere Olivione 😉
Dang it! It has been a year… Back to the Innkeeper series!
11 of 16. Hangs head in shame. Goes to re-read series.
Thank you so much for the quiz! You are the most generous authors (and moderators) I know. Looking forward to staying at Gertrude Hunt with my 87.5% rating!
So so fun. Can’t wait for my visit to the Inn………………..
Yay! Better than I ecpectes or feared. Glad I would qualify for a stay!!! Love the Gertrude Hunt and all her occupants and associated beings.
Yaaaaaas! 87,5% (maybe its because Is the series I’ve re-read the most!
I really thought I would do better than 10 of 16. I just reread them in 2020.
15 of 16 as well. (Missed the one about George since we just saw him at Baha Char.) But I’ve been welcomed! Going to start planning the vacation around the Inns of the World! (Plus, aren’t they extant on other worlds as well?) 😉
Same results exactly hah – I forgot he was at Baha Char before we saw his recruitment scene.
I missed one easy question and two that I didn’t know/remember. Not bad and such fun!
Thanks!
Loved your quiz. However, it did prove to me what I already knew–I’ve read the series too many times!! Thank you.
No such thing ????
Haha! Can’t believe I got so many wrong. Thankfully, rereading it is. Would never survive Karhari!
Yes, me too! It started easily, but I couldn’t belive I didn’t know quite a few of them after so many rereads 😀
Oh, come on! How can “5 Stars in my heart! The Assembly are a bunch of gnome botherers” be a wrong answer? Who needs facts if we can choose this? 😀
And “I can explain why he’s running naked in the orchard” was as really great idea, too! One a lot funnier than the true one. Can we have that? At least as running gag? Please? 😉
On the other hand, can anyone explain to me what a Chatty Cathy is? I googled it and it seems to be a doll? Is this also an typical english expression that is used?
“The Stablemaster didn’t look up. “Gone.”
“Gone where?”
He stopped and gave her a flat look. “Hunting.”
“In which direction?”
“North.”
“I need a mount.”
The Chatty Cathy of the vampire world favored her with another look. “I don’t have any.””
Andrews, Ilona. Sweep of the Blade, Innkeeper Chronicles 4. NYLA Publishing, 2019. Kindle edition, page 260
Yes, it is a reference to a “talking” doll and lashings of sarcasm from Maud 😉
Thank you! 😀
It was a popular doll at one time. I don’t know where the phrase originated from but growing up in the 60’s and 70’s in the US a ‘Chatty Cathy’ was a someone who talked (chattered) on and on. Later it seemed to be replaced by someone ‘talking just to hear themselves speak’. I hope this helps.
My younger sister had a Chatty Cathy doll in the 1960s. I forget how many things she said.
I believe I had a Chatty Cathy doll when I was a little girl in the early 60’s. You pulled a string and she would talk, she had several phrases she would speak.
I just remembered – they also had talking Barbie dolls & her friends! I actually had one. *shudder!* 😉
I didn’t realize it came from the name of a doll, but people will sometimes say something along the lines of “aren’t you a chatty Cathy” if someone is talking a lot or sarcastically if the person isn’t talking much or giving short answers. I’ve heard sassy sally and lippy Lucy used as well but for different reasons.
I got 50%….but then again, that’s pretty good for me. My family makes fun of me because as soon as I finish a book, movie, tv show finale etc. I immediately forget it! It’s great though: every re-read/re-watch is like reading or seeing something new for the first time! ????
11 out of 16….. not bad considering I haven’t read them in years! Hmm, might need to rectify that! *laughing*
75%. Is that good or bad?
I’m going with good since that was my score too ????
Loved the quiz!
That was fun. I forgot that Dina had seen George at Baha Char, otherwise I got them correct. Blast from the past. I need to go back and re-read or listen to the audios again. It’s been a while.
That was fun! I only got 10 right- shocking – but twas fun thanks 🙂
75%! I disappointed myself BUT I can still be a guest!
That was fun!
Whoo Hoo! I get to stay at the Inn. In my heart the Inn is still a 5. I wonder what my room will look like?
Oh wow that was fun – thank you
Fun! I have to read again to get a better score.
75%. Shame. Shaaaaame. SHAME!
68.75% and lots of fun! And good thing I’ve already started my regular re-read of the Innkeeper Chronicles, because now I’m dying to dig up some answers.
Cheers, Faith
15 out of 16 in under three minutes—did not remember where the money for the assassination came from.
Stretchy pants? How sexist.
Nope, my boyfriend has stretchy pants (sweats) he wears in predation for a large meal.
I think that stretchy pants is a reference to how good Orro’s cooking is!
Yes, it absolutely is about the good eating 😀 . Honi soit qui mal y pense and all that hehe.
Thank you for the quiz … it was fun.
15 of 16 (93%) … remembered the “George & Jack” sighting too late, and missed that one. Frankly, got Maud & Klaus’s father’s name correct on a guess.
I do love the Innkeeper series.
13/16
I didn’t know there was a short story where Maud and Klaus’ father’s name is mentioned.
And I simply assumed that Sebastien North is the Ripper of Souls’ owner… assuming too much there… ^^;;
Now off to read the short story…
I exploited the BDH vulnerable traits from within 😀 . We do love a good assumption hehe.
Have you seen the European style board games such as the castles of burgundy and wingspan? I think Dina’s inn would be a great setting for such a game.
81.25%! Yay! But I’m still going to go reread them!
Oh wow! I cant believe i got so many wrong! Definitely time for a reread! 9 out of 16
YESSSSS! OK then, I have to call and make a reservation! I am dying to taste Orro’s cooking and see what Dina and Gertrude will create for my bedroom
Welll, I did ok but definitely need to reread them!
Yay!!!
