Impulsive character still impulsive? Check.
Secret-keeping character still keeping secrets? Check.
Troublesome character still making trouble? Check.
Character who likes to hold onto things still holding on? Check.
Shiny new character still shiny new? Check.
Do at least some of these things change by the end of this book? Check.

Dear Chapter 8,
You’re not the flashiest chapter in this book, and you’re not the most wrenching, and you’re miles away from the climactic scenes. But your final lines still make me sigh a little and smile a little.
I like that in a chapter. Thank you.

Dear Secondary Character Who Once Ran Away to Follow My Protagonist,
