I know the urban fantasy-type concepts are hard to pull off in a lot of ways, because keeping a world that feels real while adding in completely fantastic elements is a really delicate balance!
They definitely are, and once again, you did a really great job with it! So kudos again ^^

ALSO! Random note: the only reason I originally read Tithe (aside from pandorathene bugging me about it for like, every day for nearly a month) was because Holly Black is an HP fanfic writer--trufax!

Panic are totes my faves :D And I am embarrassingly OTP-y about Jon and Spencer XD
