I have come to love all of them, and they have really developed themselves, often doing things I didn't expect, making problems for me by changing everything. That was one of the most pleasant surprises in writing, that characters really do come to life, and decide by themselves how their lives will be lived.
Though it may seem that way, the characters aren't surpassingly beautiful either, of course they may see some of the others as such, but don't we all see the people we love best as being the most beautiful? I think most of us would not see Lukas as beautiful, a skinny, scrawny guy with a long, narrow face, and a mottled skin? But to Melissa he is beautiful, because he is one of those people whose inner light shines right through.
Of course there had to be some action, and some description of magic-use, but not too much, for in the end what matters is, how people interact, how they fall in love, what comes between them and what they do about it.
I'm already working on the follow-up, which does have a different viewpoint, for I was dying to find out at last what Paul and Lukas really think. And I was not disappointed, especially Lukas will go through a lot of changes, and has some important choices to make, and being able to see his view on everything is very interesting.
I hope you will continue to read, and I hope you will let me know what you think.
