That last question from my last blog is a great topic. How do the swords really work? The children in the book have gathered up different theories. Either Secret Country is real or they are all hallucinating and imaging the same world at the same time. They fit perfectly into the storyline of Secret Country because they replace the royal children of the kingdom. So, somehow, the original royal children just cease to exist. The swords do not even make sense by how they were placed in the areas because, after reading further through th book, the swords are that of two ancient reknown wizards. If the swords started in Secret Country, how would they end up in actual reality, which lacks magic? Dean's plotline is just a little hard to follow, but still makes for a better read than some other plotlines I have read.
