Thanks for looking this up, Susan.  Frankly, I did think she was 
lying (and she can lie whenever she wants, in my opinion), but this 
finally makes sense to me.  They are definitely cool creatures it 
makes sense that she wanted to withhold them until she could bring 
them into the story.  On the other hand, I think it would have been a 
great tease to mention them in passing at the end of Book Four and 
make us all wait until Book Five to find out what they were.  
However, I'm not the one writing the books, so I should probably just 
shut up now.
