Wow. I just read the thing and...wow.

This next rant goes to the reviewers, not anybody on this fandom

Let me remind you people that this is the FIRST BOOK IN A SERIES!! As in, THERE'S MORE!!! I only agreed with one of your conerns--the other ones were just nitpicking.

The only one i agreed with totally was Sophie. She was definitely and still kind of is a Special Snowflake, but i think the review said enough about that. Next, OH NO, NOT HARRY POTTER

Look, if you ask anybody else, i guarantee that at least 98% of people did not even notice any of that, and even reading your review, i still see it as coincidences, and not a real problem. BECAUSE IT'S NOT! the first book of a soon to be 8 book series has some harry potter coincidences--so what? It's not a big deal. As for the logic thing, just look past it and enjoy the amazingly detailed world Shannon managed to create.

And as for the gnomes thing, i can't find it in myself to get mad at you for that. That's an honest concern. And i did notice a small lack of diversity in these books. Books one through six, none of the main people had dark skin of any kind. I did like that a dark skinnd man (emery) was in a very high position of power--that was a smart move. I do wish she would include more diversity, and if you can't do different body shapes, I'd like to see some LGBT rep. But it's not that big a deal, i guess. And the brown skin of the gnomes was probably just an "oh, they're teeth and thumbs are green, they like trees, i"ll make them look like trees." Nothing big.

Sorry for the long comment, again, none of this was meant to be offensive, if it was, I'm really sorry.
