Hi GLH,
I agree with you. I can put myself into each of the characters as well, but what is interesting is that I bring my knowledge to the situation as well which is what adds another level of....to each situation (do you know what I mean?). It is an amazing experience to be able to be in someone's head (from a character stand-point) but it can also be challenging when you are yelling at a character not to do something because you will see the consequences before they will.

You are correct, Sylvia did a great job of outlining each of her characters! Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer for the next book...fingers crossed here! I would even settle for a snippet or two...or ten...
