    Laura,
    I’m currently reading the Candlestone (and am pretty close to the end…) Did you notice the very weird metaphor he uses on pg. 275, when Billy’s looking at the candlestone? It made me laugh! Here, I’ll post it below –

    A thin swirl of barely visible light streamed into a dense grouping of the stone’s minute facets. It looked like a tiny vacuum cleaner sucking in a trail of dancing pixies from all around the room. On the other side of the gem, a steady, dim beam poured out, like someone inside the stone had strangled the pixies, flattened their corpses with a mallet, and squeezed their bodies into a shaft of dead light

    What’s up with that!! :) It’s like he was in a silly mood and wrote the first thing that came into his mind.

      • lilacandivy says:

        From the sound of your Christmas gifts you like them. ;) (did you get the whole series?) Let me know when you finish the Candlestone!

        I really like them. :D (Yes, I got all of “Dragons in Our Mists”.) I’m reading it right now and will be sure to let you know when I’m finished. :)
