Criticism noted. I'm not offended at all.The thing is, I absolutely trust my readers to follow along. Believe me, I'm not spelling anything out for anyone. I actually consider myself a pretty subtle writer. Sure, some vocal readers have impressed me in the past by picking up on the most minute details. But there are some bits of foreshadowing from earlier chapters that still remain overlooked. And while I've heard some pretty clever interpretations, I still haven't seen a correct answer (as in, what I had in mind) to what "wings" are.If something I write seems obvious, I either overlooked something (which admittedly can and does happen), or I'm doing it on purpose to distract you from something else. This chapter is, as far as I've seen from reader commentary, the latter. The "painfully clear" stuff throughout much of the chapter is mostly just self-referential or poking fun at itself. If it's "tiring", then I guess I didn't do as good of a job of making it fun as I wanted (but that's okay; because I can work at that for the future). But everything I've done with this chapter is totally on purpose.The obvious stuff is obvious. But as far as I've seen, the secrets for the time being remain secret. I have a smart readership though, so I'm sure at least one of those secrets will be figured out before I answer it. The other, I'll honestly be surprised if anyone catches. ^_^So likewise, trust the author to know what she's doing. Thank you for your comment!
