Re: The Miren Discussion Thread

I love that you interweve some relevant bits of what Miren looks like (that she has a tail and horns) into the text at logical places instead of having her randomly encounter a mirror and then spend ten minutes pondering her own appearance (as too many fantasy novels do)
