but under no circumstances should copies of this story be transported to the Magnificent North. The magic of this book does not mix well with the cursed story magic of the Magnificent North, and if the two are combined, Legendary Publications is not responsible for what will happen.
Ariel
Hmmmm very interesting I’m wondering if they know about Jacks and Eva yet honestly

They appear at the stroke of twelve—noon, not midnight. It would be tragic for these invitations to get lost in the dark or stolen by the greedy stars.
Ariel
You don’t realize how much you miss an author until you read something new of theirs and the unique writing style is still there. It literally just happened to me with Broadbents’ newest book.

Scarlett replied diplomatically, “I can’t change the date of a holiday.” “Of course you can,” Tella said.
Ariel
This describes their relationship and personalities to a T perfectly… Scarlett is logical and says we cant change the world to suit us all the time and Tella thinks the world should mould around her needs and thinks her sister can make it so
