Ty Blackthorn, Sherlock Holmes, and Shakespeare

I do get this question a lot and I understand why, I mean who is going to be more upset about Dru and Ty having to be protagonists than Julian? But I wouldn't assume Julian himself isn't in danger. If he's being chased across a desert by an angry bird demon, does he have time to worry?

Not in LKOF, no, as Dru never returns to the Academy during the book. Possibly there's a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead type fanfic in there about everyone partying at the Institute while Dru and Thais are gone.

I would say the only examples of the kind of necromancy Ty did, that we have seen at all, are just him and Livvy and Malcolm and Annabelle. And only in Ty and Livvy's case will we ever see what it looks like years down the line.

Ah, it means one question per ask session/time the inbox is open. I always shut the box down when I hit 100 questions so when it turns out fifty of them were all asked by the same person, it feels unfair to other people — hope that makes sense. But I certainly don't mind people coming back the next time the box is open and asking questions!

People definitely comment that he's attractive in TLKOF!

"oh, so this is happening" and "so that's why"

you look like a turner painting and i want to learn your textures with my fingertips

purple chronically ill wizard i have some thoughts about you

i need ty to be the better flirt. ty who is very calculated about his own looks and knows how to use them. he might be not the best with people but he learned how to mask. he oozes confidence. he might not be the charmer but he knows how to get what he wants from people.

Hey! I mean the whole thing is kind of a spoiler so I'll be vague. She is almost always with Ty, and he's gotten very used to her being around and chatting with her like she wasn't a ghost. With Kit, she can discuss concerns she has about Ty, something she has no one else she can talk to about. Livvy's role is really about what happens when you try to cheat not just death, but also grief and other human emotions.
