Oh, and also! I forgot to mention it before, but this line: Calormen is cruel and proud, harsh and unforgiving, and beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I love that. It puts me in mind of Jadis, and then in this story, by extension, Edith, who is perhaps neither cruel nor unforgiving, but seems very much to come off as that sort of woman, at least to outsiders, very beautiful and very harsh.
And, I wanted to ask if you might consider more exploration of Mary? Unfortunately I keep finding myself thinking of her as Susan only the eldest, but obviously that's not right, and I'd love to have more of what you started in the first bit, to see her in Narnia and beyond.
