Plus I cleared the continuity glitches out, which always helps.

So... once again, essentially she's (he's?) saying that she dislikes your writing because she dislikes one--one--of your main characters.

At least she didn't complain about your moral arbitration this time.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm reading the same book as other people. The generalization about the relationships in the book would be applicable to some books I've read, but not at all this one. & he doesn't think Felix is even *trying* to be a better person? I thought F's thoughts were preoccupied with this. He doesn't get why other characters don't immediately realize scary-looking, taciturn, sometimes-gruff Mildmay is sensitive? I know everyone to some extent brings their own preconceptions to reading and people are going to interpret things differently, but one of us is waaay off.

On the positive side, the Melusine reviewer and I clearly read exactly the same book, and loved it for more or less the same reasons.

Continuity

I was suprised to see you fixing continuity errors. "Someone" told me that I was supposed to leave that for copyeditors. (Of course, someone also told me I didn't have to wear pants so maybe taking advice from other writers isn't always safe.)

What you leave for the copy-editor are the continuity glitches you have failed to catch.

If you know they're glitches, fix them.

Bah, I knew it was too good to be true. You'd think, for someone living on a mountian, I'd remember not to trust the bears.
