      Child Ren should have been properly trained not just to cleave, but to properly hone the potential dark side that existed in him. Legends Luke taught people to cleave but only in self defense.
      Moreover, saying Child Ren shouldn't have learned to cleave likely wouldn't have helped since Kylo Ren used the force to bring the ceiling down on Luke, not a lightsaber. Remember?

    I'm thrilled that your creation has been translated. It's a wonderful opportunity to experience your work in a new light.
    I have devoured the first two books in English, but I am absolutely looking forward to immersing myself in Detective Montgory Bonbon's adventures in Scottish Gaelic! 😁

    As a consultant monkeyologist, I can confirm the Monkey House is not an official name for a part of the human body.
    However, yes, you knew there was going to be a ‘However’…, there is a small connective structure within the left atrium of the human heart which bears an uncanny resemblance to a member of the genus _Hylobates_ - which appears to be sitting within a covered dwelling. It is known informally as the Gibbon’s Gaff. Like when you see an image of Jesus or Keir Starmer in a slice of toast.

    This man is a genius & does a very good stand up show.
    I should know as I attended one such show & it was contractually required to say as much ...
    He even kindly provided me with an autograph on my ticket after the show, where I mumbled incoherently due to being exceptionally star-struck, & nothing to do with being an introvert...
    I was then able to sell said ticket for exactly £100...
    ....less than I thought it would be worth, on ebay, where I got £4.67, including postage..
    I would suggest, even though I have not read the books, that you purchase them immediately! That way you will have a decent supply of fire starting material, in case of emergency.
    But you may of course read it too before hand, & possibly enjoy it, whilst also proving your intellectual superiority over a 12 year old...
    ..or not, I don't know. You may be thick as mince?.
