It didn't say it was impossible, just that it wasn't going to happen. At her age, being as skinny as a boy, who would want her? That was her thinking at least.
Shecky:
Why do you say they correspond with Terran years? In a land where every human has enough water furies to use the fury-bound water faucets, the years could be longer and the humans age slower.
All we know is that they are Aleran years. I do recall that Butcher stated that they are "contemporary" but in fiction, there's always a +/- factor.

Actually, we have Tavi as evidence. He had no crafting at all until he was about 20, but aged at a fairly normal rate. There really isn't any reason to assume time doesn't pass at the same rate.
Exitao:
No, Tavi did not age at a regular rate. His mother stunted his growth through her furies.

Apparently, by what information we do have, they correspond closely enough as not to matter in any practical way. Otherwise, this line of thought becomes parallel to that which produced the claim that the Iliad was not written by Homer but by another Greek of the same name. :D
URIELa.k.aWATCHMAN:
Now that we are at the end of this series i hope to crap that tavi pulls some kick ass fury asswhippins. I think we can assume that by the cover. All of the other covers dipict(sp?) a certain scene that happens real close to the cover art. I wonder what that woman was at the end of book 5 she told tavi that his grandfather called her alera. Ehern saw her when they were in ceres when he walked to the top of the wall and stopped at the top o the stairs and overheard Gauis. Is she a great fury?? is that how they pass there fury to the next in the fam? or some kind of bond with a great fury?
kalare had a great fury in is home and there was one in the capital can we assume that there is one in every city that allows them some kind of control over the furys??
if tavi manifests a fury could kitai use it like he could??
last quest..... is tavi furies going to be really strong because he is so much older? so by his mother watercrafting him as a baby he might be the stongest in alera in all the 1000 years.....we can only hope right??
