ALSO, everyone thought Elizabeth Woodville was a witch, so it can have a Tucker and Dale vs Evil bent. They think they’re being hexed but it’s just an old tower and random stones fall sometimes.

Oh, that makes sense! Thank you so much! I’ve been (very casually) studying Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) for a while now, but I hadn’t put that together. Once I finish the series I’ll have to read through your blog posts, these novels are endlessly fascinating.

Do you mind if I ask about another line in this book? This confused me - Oonagh’s question seems to indicate that the name “Boy” is associated with fair hair. Is this because children’s hair tends to be lighter, or is “Boy” perhaps am Anglicization of a Gaelic term that refers to blonde hair?
