Hello -- don't mind me, I'm just a random crazed fan whose just finished reading Meliusine (sorry, can't figure out how to get the accent on without screwing it up). I'm actually rather boring in my reading, in that I rarely read a new author if I haven't heard about them from at least three different sources, but I am so glad that your book caught my eye on the library shelf today. I am now completely in love with all of your characters, except the ones I want to kill painfully. I almost didn't want to get to the end, except I wanted to read what happened next too badly to actually read it slowly. Thank you, thank you, _thank you_ for writing such an excellent book, and for writing a sequel (or two, or three?). If I was saying this to you in person, I would be hugging you right now.

Sorry for the random lj comment -- I wanted to send this to you in an email, but I am currently not able to.

Thank you! And I don't mind the random LJ comment at all.
