    I totally forgot to respond to you!! So sorry! *face-palm*

    LOL! Dancrow’s reaction is hilarious! And really realistic too XD Liorah and Gavril were just like “Huh. Cool.”

    Aw, thank you so much!!! I don’t know about Liorah and Gavril, but Dan comes from a world with zero magic, so this is going to be especially wild for him 😛

    I actually love the bit of awkwardness, it makes him seem less… brash and vain, like a bit more relatable. It really works!

    YES! *does weird happy dance* Thank you! That is exactly what I was going for, and you just confirmed it. Thank you!!!

    The impulsive+voice-of-reason is one of my all-time favorite relationships. Probably why I have so many XD Liorah is usually the impulsive one, everyone else seems logical compared to her.

    In movies, I always love the brash one! Like Mater in Cars!

    Yeah, all my places look really different too, but I somehow know how they’re connected? It’s really weird actually XD Like, I could probably navigate it, if I had to.

    So awesome! My dreams are everywhere, sometimes inspired by something I read or watched that day, sometimes just plain bizarre. But my sis says that in her dreams, she knows that she’s in a ‘movie.’ Like, she’ll actually say “cut!” in her dreams and they’ll stop filming, something like that, LOL

    Yeah, I love how the reader is generally almost ‘trained’ to believe the narrator, so if the narrator just explains it away, the reader will dismiss it. It’s literally my favorite technique to use since it works every single time. I actually had one of my characters literally predict an event that will occur (much later, in the next book) and every one of my beta-readers just skimmed over it because Liorah waved it away. XD

    That’s hilarious!!! But you’re right, we are ‘trained’ to believe what the narrator says, or, if we don’t, we’re at least questioning ourselves on the validity of whatever was said/happened.
