I must admit that I took a shine to Fox as well. If I do ever write any more books in this sequence, you can be sure she will have a starring role.
And Lilly, welcome to Chronicles. Sorry your favourite character did not live long, but I'm afraid that's how it goes sometimes. The body count in the Imperial series is rather higher than in the Darkweaver books. It doesn't pay to get too attached to characters there, as I deliberately killed off some good guys just to let the readers know that no one was safe any more!
