@AvaLarksen, oh yes!! I am so glad I decided to read Rising... TBH I had fallen so in love with Grayelle that I didn't think I could possibly see their parents as anything other than background players in a game that revolved around Grayelle....however, upon seeing all the raving reviews and sly remarks about if we chose not to read it then well it's our own fault we that don't know what it was that we weren't "supposed" to know... I took the chance and started with a couple of chapters... then a few more, and next, it was like 10 a night, I was hooked!! I fell in love with them too... ... thank you for being such a creative writer that you can hook me on the present, then a blast from the past had me just as smitten!! Love ❤️ your work!! Can't wait to read Caged AGAIN with all this new knowledge of the world of the Houses and Horned Gods!
