Discuss!! woot! lmao
Got it yesterday, read it today - kept putting off doing homeschool with the kids so I could "read a few more pages" - for some reason they didn't mind, lol.
I really enjoyed it. I love/hate the way there's always an ending that makes you go.....ack, what happens next? So many unanswered questions, so many things happening.
I was happy that Mira didn't drive me crazy like she did in the last book. Last book I kept wanting to strangle her - she was easier to get along with this time.
I liked the two new characters - awesome. When Mira first meets the witch I about DIED laughing. (I don't want to name names or anything - I'm trying to be spoiler free.)
Wow - I have to wait a year until book 4? *sob*

I can't believe you read it so fast!!!! OMG!!!! lol. I'm glad that you found Mira more tolerable this time around!  She defintely has her more annoying moments. The witch was very very hard for me to write. She is the exact opposite of my personality in many ways and I just couldn't get in her head. |

Yeah, I'm kinda perturbed at myself that I read it so fast - but after I read a book I usually go back and re-read parts, stuff like that.
Heh, the contrast between the characters and the witch was fabulous. It was like she was an alien.
I do have questions but I don't want to ruin anything- should we make a new thread and mark it as "spoilers"?

Feel free to start a **spoilers** thread. It may be a few days before anyone else joins in. I'll try to refrain from saying too much. ;D

Wow. I just got the book today. I got the last copy or they didn't put the others out but I'm glad I got it anyway. Time to pause the other book I've been trying to read (for a year) and get back to my favorite little firestarter. <3 Give me some time though. Work has been a pain lately.

Oh, this isn't fair! You've probably all read it by now, and I've been checking my bookstore every day since the release day, and they still don't have it in.
Yesterday I forced myself out into 80mph winds to check the store, and when I asked at the counter, the guy just laughed at me and told me that it's always a few days late. I stood staring at him for about a minute, he stopped laughing and actually looked a little scared, then said real quietly, 'I'm sorry.' And he damn well should be ¬¬

There is only one major bookstore here and then two little mall outlets, I actually found it at the small mall outlet in the SMALL little mall. LMAO @ you freakining the poor sales person out. Awesome. |

You waiting? I still don't have it! I ordered it today and asked how long it would take. They said ten days at least. My friend actually patted my shoulder and said, 'Oh, God. Please don't cry! You look like you're going to cry!'

Oh, this is getting ridiculous!
Fine, I waited ten days, then I went back and asked for it. And they still don't have it! They're now saying it should be here by the weekend. Sure, I believe that -_-'
