I thought Éna Lí would be the most irritating character yet, however I do say Balo has to join the list.. is that how you treat your wife of 30 years of marriage ??

Hilary, thank you for this instalment. I think your writing has incredible clarity that I think comes from talent and also very careful editing, a kind of bell-like clarity that you just don't find these days in people's writing. It allows you to depict complex scene machinery that is effortless to read at each scene comes across with luminous intensity. I know that unsolicited critique or queries or suggestions are not particularly welcome to people but if you would be interested to have just one of mine, I would be more than happy to give it to you. Thank you for your hard work, I hope you have great success.

I'm dying to know what the king's note said. Or did I miss it?

My money is on it being misdirection. The king had to know Sonen wouldnt be the only one to read it.
