The relationships build in complexity and depth. - And I'm delighted you're enjoying the reading.
-
Thank you Sam. Yep! Triplets for a short while till a few significant extras join the cast. The other set of triplets are busy with new and interesting events which I hope to chronicle after Widderkin.
-
Hmm! I might have to elaborate a bit more about Burrimul. Thanks Geoffrey257!

Chapter 10. High King Aglaron studied the evidence of concern as Maynor approached and immediately raised his privacy wards. "Keryth?" "Yes, my Lord. We don’t understand how, but Keryth's new companion has somehow managed to reverse all the success of our recent effort." "All? How can that be? Uirebon described the dark child's influence as a minor detail which you planned to clear." "So I thought, but when I was recovered enough to try, all my efforts were confounded

OMG, Thorn! You read stacks of books which I love. The Earthsea Trilogy (now six books) is absolutely wonderful and my pick as best of her works. - hauntingly beautiful ideas and a multi-layered storyline - also a Taoist element which challenged my thinking.
-
Wow! Those a some great stories you're reading @Ron I haven't read Elantris but I have all the others in my (paperback) collection. I particularly enjoyed the Uplift series. My favorite David Brin novel is called 'Practice Effect' and it's a novel I'd recommend to anyone who likes speculative fiction.
-
I was very disappointed by the movie which didn't have the special appeal that comes with Susan Cooper's wordcraft.
-
Thanks Bushman. Keiran's friendship has brought Rhys out of his reserved ways and we're seeing some of the consequences. Hopefully he'll bring lots more smiles for readers.
-
Yep! A great recovery. There's a different time rate which makes responses from the Realms seem slow. Lol I'm sure there'll be an eventual reaction though.

5 Chapter 9. Mr B was waiting near the entrance to the College car park and, after a wave, he followed and caught up while Tan parked in a nearby vacant space. His reaction when Rhys got out of the car was expected but still confronting. "Tan, it's kind of you to run Woorawa round like this. Are you and your friend coming with us while we introduce him to College and his lecturers?" Tan nodded then looked to Kieran who was meant to be doing all the talking. "Um ... Mr

Yes, the Shark Bay area has many especially interesting features but the dolphin encounter tops the list for me and it really was the inspiration for the dolphins in the story. Lol - the 'works' hamburger is still a standard option in food outlets - listed as 'hamburger with the lot'.
-
Oh My! That is a real double whammy. I hope you get an 'all clear' message really soon.
-
Yes, Woorawa was very quick with his efforts to get things fixed. And, yep! Anticipate with gay abandon. I'm reasonably confident your thirst for adventure will be well and truly slated. (Well. I certainly hope so.)
-
lol - you're right - things aren't going to plan for the 'meanies'. ...Thank you! That's great to hear.
-
Hmm! - neat comment! I'm not sure whether it refers to the chapter or the opal. The group meets with Mr B at the start of the next chapter.
-
Wow! What can I say? - I'm absolutely delighted that the chapter so caught your imagination. Here's hoping that future chapters will do the same.
-
Thanks Dathi! And you're right - protection of some kind does seem to be looming as an important factor.
-
Lol - I love your 'Thanks for the memories...' Yes, I discovered there are all sorts of properties and powers attributed to opal - BUT - this one is different! There's a time differential which means lots of things can happen at the College while the Faerie folk get organised for anyresponse. lol - I'm sure they will.
-
Yes. Organising his return to College is part of the next chapter.
-
Chapter 8. "Is everything alright with Woorawa? He seemed to have something on his mind when we got home." "I'm not sure, Tan. It's like he's got a fixation about that other student. I started to get a headache from all his questions." "It's not one of your migraines is it?" "No, it's gone now so it can't be. He’s ringing his Uncle Burrimul to let him know he got here okay and then he’s having a shower. What do you want me to do to help?" "Nothing really. Set the tabl

Lol - Bad guys? Aren't they trying to 'help' Keryth so he can be successor to the High Throne? Just apply a bit of gay conversion therapy and everyone wins. ... Hmm! Yep! 'Dark Child' was simply referring to his ancestry. - but you're onto something with the rival powers bit too.
-
I'm currently reading 'Silver on the Tree' the last book in The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper. This is a beloved series I re-read every four or five years which always leaves me with a feeling of wonder that someone could write such stories.
-
Lol - the next reference to the old rock is just a few paragraphs away. Blame my chapter spacing (the next chapter's a big one).
-
Chapter 7. Kieran opened his eyes, immediately closed them because the light made his head hurt, then when there was no let up with the ache, opened them again. Not another migraine. What was the time? 10:30 AM. WHAT? How could that be? He never slept in. Kieran sat up and put his hands to his temples. Rotten headaches, and the doctors were no help. 10:30? Tan would be wondering where he was. Twenty minutes later and feeling quite a bit better Kieran knocked on the door of Tan’s roo
