And since the end of 5.9 corresponds to the end of 4.8 ...


I'm 6k ahead of myself.

I blame Felix.

I'm *so* happy Felix gets a POV in The Mirador.

No matter how much he prods, pouts, and generally hissy-fits the word count into the stratosphere, I'm grateful that you're putting him in...

It just wouldn't be the same without the guy :)

Felix is too easy to blame...isn't he?

I just finished The Virtu...and all I really can say, besides how much I loved it and just how wonderful it was, is that you made Latin COOL again! I'm a Classics major and I just LOVED the ending. Latin as street slang...COOL! Thanks you!

Good luck with the rewrites. They are terribly hard (for me at least). I cannot edit my own stuff. I see right through all the mistakes and never see anything wrong with it.

I'm glad that Felix will be in the next book. Is there going to be anyone else we know?

Cheers!

I finished The Virtu early this morning. I would have finished it yesterday if I hadn't been surprised by a nap mid-afternoon. I think I enjoyed it even more than Melusine though seriously wanting to slap both Felix and Mildmay for most of it. I understand the things that broke them in those ways but I'm impatient with slow recovery. ;-) And I think I'm falling in love with Mildmay.

The end was definitely and distinctly a release and tying up in ways that the end of Melusine was not and I'm very curious as to what they're going to be up to in The MIrador.
