Marissa Meyer:
In "Fairest," why does the birthday card to Levana say "17th" birthday? Isn't it her 16th birthday? I LOVED this book!

This is something my copyeditor actually caught! It's Levana's 16th birthday, but her 17th YEAR. (Because the first 12 months of your life are your first year, then you turn 1 and you're in your second year... get it??) I'd never thought of it until she pointed it out, lol.
