Spoiler:

...what a difference a chapter makes......Perfect Day and Chorus of Annihilation are complete opposite in vibe....I loved Perfect Day, obviously it’s so light and lovely and the friendships and relationships that you've created, Scarlet, are beautiful......I do feel slightly uneasy though ..(...because of Roisin and Dex...)...that something may happen to either Ashe or Ariel....Chorus of Annihilation, though...is just so ominous and menacing...

Perfect Day was made to contrast with Chorus of Annihilation a lot, the silence before the storm xD

Spoiler:

I felt so bad writing that part with Roisin, but I wanted to show how strong Treleva was at full power

Thank you! I love writing the characters

Did you like the Coda?

Prologue up for book six too!

Spoiler:

..yeah that last chapter ended it perfectly because it’s not just the cliffhanger ending with Roisin and her injuries, it’s also how it connects to the past with Syl..?....a promise made, ‘don’t go dying on me...’...and now she’s there, possibly dying...?...there is obviously a huge significance that we’ll find out...

Indeed, I wanted to close the book on that sort of note.

Speaking of notes, did you notice the naming scheme? Prelude, verses, choruses and coda

...I hadn’t noticed but that’s so clever......so Coda is the ending, the fading out...you have me thinking now, is it the ending for Roisin and again the connection of..’don’t die on me..’...maybe this is her fading death scene...

...yeah I did notice that with the chorus chapters, I just connected them to being chorus at the time.....I think I was so engrossed in the actual story as you built it in the end, I overlooked how cleverly you had done that...doh, I’m so unappreciative but it really is clever...strangely as well, one of the last English things I was doing at school was short/long sentences and chapters etc to build up suspense/emotion etc...I’m so dumb.....

Spoiler:

I wanted to have shorter flashback chapters to fill in where Lumina was in 'Memories of Ice' and then, to explain more about the fall of Utopia before the ending, so they fit in well

That said, I didn't wanna make them stick out too much

Indeed, she hates Amanda for what she did, but she's also her only hope.

Dex and Ruby will always have her back

Indeed! Will the crystal stablise her or will she find it even harder to deal with the increased power?

...yeah I was thinking that as well...will her ravaged/repaired body be able to cope with the power of the crystals because they would drain her even at her most healthy...it feels quite doubtful atm.....

...take your time, Scarlett...seriously, I’m enjoying following your stories but a slower pace is fine with me also, they’re absolutely worth the wait ...and it keeps the anticipation for longer, which adds to the suspense as well and is a good thing.../...no worries, no hurries......
