So excited for Sygny's future. He seems so sure of himself in an uncertain world but I can sort of see his situation with Arno exposing a lot of insecurities.
I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do! I wonder if Sygny is as potentially evil as he appears or if it's just my imagination. How much damage can you do with protection spells after all?
I love your writing and your amazing imagination. You really have a way of bringing everything to life and capturing emotions.
I wish you had avoided treating "Africa" like one place though, it made it really hard to get into this particular character. From his experiences, and the awesome coffee, I think Ivory Coast or Uganda might be prime settings.
Keep up the awesome work!
