I enjoyed the story, but sadly, the I totally missed the hard work you did making the siren genderless and assumed it was female. I like the idea that the Star's Daughter is the star's reflection, and the siren, lightning's: the mix of myth and prosaic reality works very well. I also really liked that peaceful, beautiful light was the enemy and blood and darkness were the weapon against it. I don't think Lewis would have identified the enemy that way, so it feels subversive and fits with the ways Susan will not follow the other children's path. Thanks!
