Also YES Mason was not in the original book, I added him later on a whim honestly…but if anyone else asks it was VERY intentional, and it was all planned out with a perfectly suited purpose
It worked out in the end though since his character fits the main themes of the book. I also find it quite interesting how Adeline reminds Kai of Wren, and Kai reminds Adeline of Mason.
All in all, I think Mason is an interesting character to write about anyway. Even if he was sort of a “filler” character.
Poor Addie got really unlucky with her siblings, though. ANOTHER nightmare for her to deal with, and one that’s entirely my doing. Oops.
