Just visited my son who lives in Mears Park, St. Paul. It's a one-block park, surrounded by tall modern buildings, with an artificial stream running through it and brick pathways among the plantings. It felt so familiar I started looking around for the two-century old mansion in four stories and two wings protected by a force field. Any connection?

I've never been to Mears Park, despite proximity, so, no direct inspiration there. But as Cordelia remarks somewhere, nothing makes a city so civil as an injection of country, so good for St. Paul.

(I keep bumping into the character limit!) After finishing The Hallowed Hunt, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I couldn't help but wonder how Ingrey and Ijada got along. Wencel had, at one point, offered to teach Ingrey if he'd but come visit him at his home, where he kept his library. Novel events went quite differently, of course. Is that knowledge something Ingrey and Ijada will ever find?
