Oh, Cendriel.....Every story needs a character who keeps things sharp, witty, and just a little unpredictable. In The Last Patriot, that role belongs to Cendriel, the owl who manages to be both wise and sarcastic—often in the same sentence.

Cendriel isn’t your typical mystical guide. Yes, he’s clever and insightful, but he also has a knack for cutting through tense moments with a dry remark that makes you laugh even when the situation is anything but funny. Writing his dialogue often caught me off guard, because he had this way of saying exactly what everyone else was too polite—or too afraid—to admit.

What makes Cendriel special is that he’s more than comic relief. His sarcasm has a purpose. It disarms, it challenges, and sometimes it reveals truths the other characters aren’t ready to face. Still, he’s the kind of character who makes you grin while you’re turning the page, and he was one of the most enjoyable to bring to life.

So if you find yourself chuckling at an owl who seems to know a little too much and never misses a chance to say it with a smirk—don’t worry. You’re not alone. I laughed too while writing him. 

If you have read The Last Patriot, I hope you found Cendriel's try humor and sarcasm as pleasant as I did.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and come back tomorrow.
