This acknowledgement list is incomplete and inarticulate, but sincere. Thank you, everyone.  

A huge thanks to everyone who helped with the creation of the book. To my sister, @Bug2yous who tolerates me marching into her room at atrociously random times and listens while I complain about my newest writing trouble, and who is forever helping me with the aforementioned writing trouble. To [name redacted for privacy] my favourite teacher, who taught me how to write a killer essay and appreciate fiction on a deeper level. To @JungHa for helping me with the Spanish translations and for putting up with all the long periods of radio silence. To Kat for being so kind and sensitivity reading for me. To my parents for making sure I didn't spend all of my time in my room writing.

Thank you to @IAmLLawliet for helping with edits, and to @DivineM0nster , @GerrySaunders , and @nicolletejanewrites for beta reading. You have been, and continue to be, a great help!

Finally, thank you to Snow for writing that beautiful lullaby (and letting me use it in the book!)
