Kathy, can you see the candles and their flames? I can't find a cover image large enough to see any detail; I just the the glow of the lamplight in the available image


message 6: by Kathy G. (new)

Kathy G. | 1931 comments It's just the glow--- If you need the actual
flame, that's okay. I'll find something else.
Thanks

It's hard to tell- where do you see ice/snow?


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 3025 comments In the background and the big ice pillars in the back.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 3025 comments The background where there is an ice castle

Jayme(the ghost reader) wrote: "The background where there is an ice castle"

I think the castle is a bit of a stretch- especially since the book text says "Walls that perfectly imitated snow were, in fact, the most pristine of white quartz."
But in light of the title, I could see the small scattered white objects in the foreground as snow, so I'll ok it


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 3025 comments ok thanks

Yes.
Am I doing this backwards? Should I get the length approved first, then ask in the task help for approval?
