Rachel Griffin	comment	Books of Unexpected Enlightenment are a YA book series by L. Jagi Lamplighter (author of the Prospero's Daughter trilogy). Thus far, the book series is made of 5 books: 1) The Unexpected Enlightenment of Rachel Griffin 2) The Raven, The Elf, and Rachel 3) Rachel and the Many-Splendored Dreamland 4) The Awful Truth About Forgetting 5) The Unbearable Heaviness of RememberingThirteen year old Rachel Griffin has been attending the Roanoke Academy for the Sorcerous Arts (a school of magic like no other) for two days before she discovers hints of a world-shattering—or world ending—secret unknown to any of the Wise; meets a princess and a dragon-slaying hero, and saves her friend from being murdered. On day three...It is set in an Alternate History: it appears to be our world, but with magic (a la Dresden Files or Harry Potter), but it soon develops that this is a world where monotheism was a brief historical anomaly. Nonetheless, there are just enough hints of things being awry that we can suspect it is indeed our world, altered. As when Rachel sees a statue of a human with bird wings and is baffled by what it could represent — obviously not a fairy, since the wings are not butterfly ones.Not to be confused with Australian actress, Rachel Griffiths.

In The Raven, the Elf, and Rachel, none of the adults are willing to share information, and are alternately demanding whatever Rachel and her friends do know, and completely dismissing them. Even the adults who had had to save the world as adolescents.

Rachel Griffin / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: According to the author, the series is based on a Massive Multiplayer Crossover role-playing game created by her family and run by a family friend, who is given credit on the title page, and the finished story contains non-public domain characters with the "serial-numbers filed off." Hints are given by the princess's visions. Exploration of those hints and other clues currently available (as of book 2) can be found in Rachel Griffin. Siegfried Smith, the famous orphan who is brand-new to the magical world, was originally based on the author's husband (John C. Wright)'s roleplaying character in the game—not on Harry Potter, as previously suggested here. Siggy is an orphan because the player min/maxed the character. The other influence for the character was Sigfried, from the Ring Cycle...a wild-man of the woods orphan who ended up with a dragon's treasure. Rachel herself is a native of her world. She was created for the original game because the authoress wanted to play a character who could get into Ravenclaw, however, the moderator put her in Griffindor anyway. Vladimir Von Dread is very obviously based on Victor Von Doom.

Rachel Griffin / int_e598d4ac	comment	Innocent Inaccurate: Lucky, a juvenile dragon, describes one character as "petting" another; his similarly juvenile master misses the implications as well. In The Raven, the Elf, and Rachel, Rachel produces evidence that two princes were involved with the plot that occurred in Enlightenment — for the price that the ringleader would kill their brother for them. In Dreamland, their sister mournfully wishes her father had not made her and her siblings watch something, and Siggy points out that the event probably related to her dream they saw, of a hanging. Rachel never does figure it out; the ghost of one of the executed princes tells her. Rachel doesnâ€™t know what a starship looks like, and imagines them as looking like flying galleons, instead of rockets. (She doesnâ€™t even recognize it when Gaius draws one earlier.)
