So, I have less that 200 pages left to type in the hand-written edits and I’m realizing something.  I don’t give Sari nearly enough credit.  I always thought of her as the weakest of the champions, but she’s proving to be their secret weapon.  Her personality has so many switches that she can flip at a moment’s notice without it being out-of-character.  She is handling everything I throw at her without batting much of an eye.  The other heroes tend to stumble through obstacles, but Sari is dancing (literally) around everything and it makes sense.

I hate to say it, but it’s starting to look like Luke might end up being the weakest of the champions.  I might have to change a few things for the later books to play this up, especially in the grand finale of book 15.  Though, him being the weakest does help certain events make sense.
