It was funny to see Andy there at the end. He’d obviously been watching the match in the locker room. I didn’t know that. I thought he left to go back to the hotel obviously. Maybe he came back when he thought we had a chance. (x)
I think when you accept a partnership, when he invited me, it’s because I already believed we could do great things. I think we’re on a stage that we’re playing for these tournaments, we’re playing for the big ones. I think we’re both ready and playing on a high level to win the big ones. (x)
The Emperor’s Horn was not at all what I expected. Taking a different direction than I anticipated, the two main characters were the chummiest of friends. The main setting was reminiscent of a certain magical school we all know and love, with magic and adventure galore, but also exploring beyond the school grounds and plots to define something larger than what even the main characters realize. The dialogue was difficult to get into, as it took a bit more “translating” than I usually look for in casual reading, but as the plot picks up it’s easer to get into the flow of the accented language. I anticipate the series to grow even more thrilling as the mysterious storyline is revealed in a grander landscape.
