Where there has to be enough clues to make the twists work but not enough to make us guess too early.<br /><br />As our expectations are building up (and they are) I think it puts more on you to deliver in the later episodes. My fingers are crossed for you!<br /><br />It's a bit like the opposite of Godstorm where we were given lots of world very quickly, this is much more focused.<br /><br />Oh and thanks for recommending me!

I feel like I'm getting to know her a little better and getting invested in her life. I feel her anxiety and I want to know what the feathers mean! :)Zaiurehttp://zaiuregrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554146478001236835.post-39859864743546861892011-10-10T08:38:46.865+01:002011-10-10T08:38:46.865+01:00Thanks, Aidan. =)
