A.V. Shener answered Hex's question: which god do i have to pray for a semi-human sequel to happen? because i WILL pray for one, in all my atheist glory. thank you for bringing that story to life, i am in love with the boys and would also probably die for river. Thank you! Working hard on the sequel. It's up for preorder. Hopefully I could get it out before the original date :)
