Thank you! I didn't deliberately intend the transition from the description of Cair Paravel's architecture down to the tattered bones underwater as a transition between normality and horror, but I'm glad it worked that way for you. :-)
I really want to come back and do some more work with the mer-folk someday -- specifically their cities, their relationship to Aslan, their bargains with the people of the land -- and with the little bits of world-building about the islands. This is Susan's story, so that stuff is mostly here for background color and verisimilitude, but there is always more to explore in the Narnian world.
I'm glad to hear my characterization of Susan rang true. She is resolute and practical and has a lot to carry -- staying home while your family is at war is NOT the easy option, especially when you are responsible for an entire country -- but she has the strength to manage even if she wishes she didn't need to.
