It's always so nice to ...What a lovely comment! It's always so nice to hear from people who appreciate the work afterward. I haven't been thinking about Magic Under Stone much, mired as I am in this new project, but I remember both those things you mentioned being very hard to write at the time as well.<br /><br />Apparently all my books are about finding horrible things to do to these poor characters... jaclyndolamorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175862748217333983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873969267913482457.post-13480582069196112242013-10-27T20:41:48.032-07:002013-10-27T20:41:48.032-07:00I loved the ways that you dealt with this in Magic...I loved the ways that you dealt with this in <i>Magic Under Stone</i>. Both Erris and Ifra suffer in ways that are unlike anything the reader could experience, but their reactions make it real. The cold water running through Erris' clockwork body is a chilling detail, and then the way he starts avoiding people and goes quiet around Nimira, plus the few things he does tell her, show that he's miserable but trying to be stoic. It hints at, but doesn't straight-up reiterate, all the terrible things he's been through and is going through and how dark his thoughts must be. And it broke my heart when Ifra was ordered not to speak or write, mostly because of how he reacts to being trapped in his own head.<br /><br />It impressed me how differently the characters reacted to trauma. They seem even more different because we see Erris' emotions only insomuch as Nimira sees them, but we get Ifra's from inside his head. Good job with both! :)<br /><br />(Yeah, I really like <i>Magic Under Stone</i>, haha.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873969267913482457.post-361511677674648242013-10-25T13:25:29.935-07:002013-10-25T13:25:29.935-07:00=)=)jaclyndolamorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175862748217333983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873969267913482457.post-76004092440528384202013-10-23T15:36:03.828-07:002013-10-23T15:36:03.828-07:00Oh, I love this.Oh, I love this.Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.com
