AUTHOR'S NOTE: while my pronunciations are technically "correct," I still really enjoy learning how readers have been pronouncing things throughout the series (and some of your pronunciations probably make more grammatical sense than mine do!). I've simply gotten several inquiries over the past couple of years, so this page is meant to serve as a reference for curious readers.
