Hope you don't mind if I ask you two in one. :) First, is there a canon explanation for how people like Maaya and Adelaide can see ghosts, use libris, etc.? They don't know all the answers in the book, which makes total sense, but I wondered if you had anything behind it. Second... did you have a playlist for GW?
Kay Solo
Yeah! So, in the book it is this big mysterious thing that certain people only get tiny glimpses into, and there are so few people who can do it (and their abilities so negatively looked on) that there's very little research or knowledge about it. They know they can do these things, but not really why. But the more specific explanation is that there are these two worlds that are essentially right next to each other with some overlap (which is why ghosts can be in the living world and things like that). Because of that overlap, what happens is on very rare occasions someone will be born into both worlds at once. People like Maaya and Adelaide.
It's a very lopsided ratio; that is, only a very tiny sliver of them is in the other world. But the more a person is a part of the other world, the more they can do. People who are very powerful with libris, for example, are more a part of it than someone who only gets strange feelings when ghosts are around. Unfortunately the characters themselves don't know any of this, but... maybe someday! They are changing the world for the better after all.
As for a playlist, I don't usually have many, but here are the main ones for GW.
1) I Know A Place, by Muna
2) Key of the Twilight, by Yuki Kajiura
3) The Host of Seraphim, by Dead Can Dance

I'm usually good at picking up references in your writing but I'm not as well versed in mythology. In the Fairfield Frightless there are references to the fates and sirens having a shared history and singing together. Is that from something or is that particular to your series?
