Numbers were strategically used in this book to further describe the scene, characters, and events. By doing this, the author was able to add structure to the chaos, effectively creating another level of understanding to the narrative. This was effectively noticed in the height of the Cliffs of Insanity making the climb feel more dangerous. The dual talked about the weight of the sword and steps taken which gave the scene more depth. The timeline of the wedding gave a sense of urgency to be rescued. And the battle of wits numbers implied a gamble of logic.

This concept of using numbers in the narrative was an eye opener for storytelling. By doing this the author was almost able to create a third dimension to the two-dimensional words on the page. The use of numbers gave this story space to breathe and a realm of existence. With each step in the dual, it sets the size of the scene. By adding a timeline, the sense of urgency was held onto throughout the book. This also encouraged us to keep reading with less breaks to try to beat the timeline.

Overall, the lesson here is that the use of numbers in storytelling is a powerful tool that can be used to further engage readers and hold their interests.
