kitsen size

[king of nowhere]

I'm rereading the whole saga right now, and i see a discrepancy.

in book 2 and 3, kitsen are consistently described as 25 centimeters tall

in book 4, they are consistently described instead as 15 centimeters tall

which one is correct? how did such a discrepancy made it past the editors and beta readers anyway?

15 centimeters should be the correct height. Could you find me the exact places in book 2 where it says 25? I only see 15 in Starsight. The reference in Cytonic is referring to Hesho specifically as being 25 cm, which may just be that he's considerably taller than the average kitsen. (And it's Spensa's estimation, not necessarily his exact height)

If it is an error, editors and betas are still human, and there's a lot of such things to look for in each book, so stuff will always manage to slip between the cracks.

i only have the third book in electronic form. but i checked the first appearance of the kitsen in book two, and it says 15. so it seems it's book 3 that got it wrong.
