I hope you will keep on with the Alpennia writing posts - I truly enjoy them!
On another (but somehow related) note, I wanted to tell you about something that my brain won't let go of.
I play quite a few different 'match-3' games, and one particular company in Europe has a series called 'Jewel Match'. The tokens have been, until now, all jewels, as the name indicates.
The latest game I got notified of is called 'Jewel Match Royale', and the tokens are not jewels. Instead they are things like crowns and helmets. One set of tokens reminds me constantly of one aspect of your books - the balls. The items are masks, fans and gloves! Every time I hit one of those puzzle boards, I am reminded completely of your descriptions of the balls, especially from Jeannette's point of view, with the 'language of the fan'.
Okay, so it is not earth-shattering by any means, but I really wanted to tell you that your books have embedded in my brain and even silly things like a match-3 game can remind me of them to the point where I have to stop and go re-read a couple of chapters!
I look forward to whatever you care to share with the world in 2017!
