I blush to admit I haven't read "The Horse and His Boy." I've read a few of the Narnia books, but definitely not all. I think some of the anti-Middle Eastern content that surfaced here and there didn't work so well for me. ;) C.S. Lewis is a fantastic writer, I just ended up not reading all his books.
Truthfully, Falada is straight from the original fairy tale, where he was also the princess's friend and support, so I merely built on that. I guess I fell into a default trope on that--a talking horse sounds pretty magnificent and ought to be absurdly proud of himself! Thanks so much for writing, and for your review. I'm so honored that you enjoyed Thorn!

just read your Thorn book, Really impressed but now also a little glum. As you stated on your site, I read with some disapointment that you would not be visiting Alyrra/ Thorn directly as a main character. As much as Rae is a work in progress, I was just wondering whether you would ever look to wrap up the loose ends directly for thorn or would you only be doing this is the future Rae books?
