That's neat! For some reason your description actually helped me visualize a chrystillery even morelittle_nell15 wrote: ↑15 Sep 2019, 05:16 I loved the idea. I have a dome shaped epoxy resin pendant with dried flowers.I pictured the crystilleries as something similar , only brighter and with floating gems inside.
They were used from the beginning of the book and if the title was correc, they were a vital piece of the story of Echoland.cvetelina_yovcheva87 wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 05:58 I think that the Crystillaries have a great contribution to the development of the story and to making it more interesting.
They are both one and the same in my eyes, but for the sake of this discussion - the author. I think Frankenstein and pellucid (the head of the school) were the only two that could artfully read chrystilleries, but it was not really expanded on much.
I think she intentionally obscured the art hopefully for another book.Kro92813 wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 23:48They are both one and the same in my eyes, but for the sake of this discussion - the author.

Possibly! It would make for an I terestj g aspect of a future bookFerdinand_otieno wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 23:50I think she intentionally obscured the art hopefully for another book.
Yes it would. Explaining the discovery of crystilleries and how they can be used to destroy fate sealers.Kro92813 wrote: ↑20 Sep 2019, 23:59Possibly!

The restricted section in the library!? Geez, this book really feels a lot like HP. I mean, so far it seems in a good, non-cringy way but that's really obvious.Kro92813 wrote: ↑03 Sep 2019, 04:39 The crystilleries were a little confusing to me at the beginning, but once I grasped the concept of what the author was trying to portray, they did drive the story forward. They were invented to hold happy memories, but then became illegal and were all collected and cast into the lake which caused a lot of deaths by people trying to find the treasure (the floating bodies under the lake).
Without the crystilleries Velerian would not have been able to manipulate Frankenstein, Will and Peter would not have figured out how to enter Pellucids restricted section in the library, they wouldnt have figured out how to enter Olam Shone without it, etc.
The Crystilleries were a good idea as they helped Will in his quest, though they caused some deaths. Well, good things could cause damages when they fall into wrong hands.Jsovermyer wrote: ↑02 Sep 2019, 19:56 The Crystilleries were a very unique device to move the story forward. The Crystilleries could show who had last touched an object. How were they used in the story? Do you think they were a good idea?
Is that their intent? To destroy fate sealers? I wonder how? I thought they were originally invented to save happy memories!Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 00:01Yes it would.

Someone had mentioned this in another thread, but they were reminiscent of Pensieves in Harry Potter!
