Not many I’m guessing, hence Roddy’s skepticism. :-)

I like how subtle the magic is from Roddy’s perspective, until all of a sudden it’s very real and unpleasant.

And the references to the other fantasy works were very clever. I think I’ve got all of them, but I’m not sure about the blue gems. ?

Well, now I want to know how (if?) they close the gate…

Huge Milton nerd right here. :-) I didn’t get any of the other references, but it didn’t matter. It’s still really engaging, and those little tidbits are probably like “treats” for those who are in-the-know. And I totally fell for Hannah’s trick too! Loved it!

I admit, it’s bugging me a bit, I know the tarot deck too but I just can’t quite get there….

You’re right on all counts. It is the Marauder’s Map from Harry Potter, A Warder’s cloak and a angreal from The Wheel of Time, and the One Ring from Lord of the Rings. Well done! I wonder if anyone will get the rest?

As to Hannah’s back story, well, I had no intention of returning to this, but I just might now.
