The imaginary infecting your world and wrecking havoc,” Trésor noted with amusement. "Oh, thank goodness! Another book I can make references for." Hoblim turns to Trésor. "For your information, an Inkheart-situation isn't much better than Jumanji. But I digress." He turns back to the group of earthlings.

"Actually, I gave the topic of whether what you experience is real or not far too much thought. I can probably ramble about it for hours.

Never read Jumanji, but I figured “Robin Williams was in it, so at least it’ll be amusing.” Turned out to be a really fun film. So then I watched the sequels. I’m really hoping Jumanji 4 is going to do what the end credits hinted and bring the Jungle into the real world like it did in the original!

It was really, really, really hard. Especially with the spike. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This sucks! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! At least I memorized it somewhat recently. Wait.

This made reading a major headache endured for him at the beginning. He still prefers to read in Braille. He can see trace metals though. His steel sight is incredible. He doesn’t need metallic ink to see the letters. It actually makes it harder, since he’d see the metal on all the pages, not just the one he’s reading. (Marsh could differentiate pigments with his Steelsight in HoA, so...) Note that Kell also has perfect color sense, which effects things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
