It is fascinating to see the reviews side by side. Will you be doing this often, or just this time due to the blogging experiment?

Hmmm, we might try it again in the future but it’s definitely an arranged thing. And yes this time was due to the blogging experiment.

World building question: The Psy don’t feel, yet they feel superior to humans and changelings?

Jane answered this one. I should have used the word “believe” it makes them superior. They do look down on any species which allows itself to be influenced by emotions.

I was not twitting you. I was pointing out how lonely you must feel amongst all the other readers who have read it and loved it. :)

World building question: The Psy don’t feel, yet they feel superior to humans and changelings? How have they reached that conclusion? They don’t have emotions to literally feel superior, so have they reasoned themselves into that position, based on empirical observation of a trait they lack? Sounds kind of Vulcan/Trek-ish to me. [In a not-bad way, of course, Mr. Spock.]

They don’t feel superior ;). They are superior. Meaning that they simply view those individuals who feel as substandard beings. I think the Psy’s superiority lies in the fact that they can control minds as part of the powers. On a deeper level, and I am guessing here, the Psy are believe that they are superior because they are trained that emotion is a negative and therefore those who use or rely upon emotion are weak.
