Oh really well done with this, you wrote Cavendish perfectly – considering he only had a line of dialogue in the first installment you did alarmingly well at making him just as I envisioned!
Brave of you not to go with an all-out magic-filled continuation considering the tone of the first one – it makes an interesting contrast…
I’ll have to see if I can cook something up to sequel later on! MH :)
Thanks for the positive comments, everyone! I appreciate the praise, especially given the fact that I don’t feel overly comfortable continuing someone else’s stories. :)
@MA – Actually, I feel like the content of my continuation isn’t rooted in bravery. I completely chickened out on pushing the envelope too far. Plus, I felt like fleshing out Mr Cavendish more as a dynamic character. I’d like to see what you do with a sequel, and I’d be happy to take another crack after that.
