Tui says the reason she used the word "talon" for dragon hands is because...
"Paw" didn't seem like the right word to her. She also says that even though talons and claws are technically the same thing in real life, in the book, talon means hand and claw means finger!
Also, Tui says she considers SharpWings to be their own tribe despite there being so few and being created by someone. She says it might be unclear where the story is going with them, but she hopes readers find them interesting!
Tui says she isn't sure if there'll be new tribes in Book 17 onwards, but "we'll see."
