Please can someone briefly explain how / why Katie becomes / is renamed Caitlyn Tear? I feel like I'm missing something very obvious (again, I blame the non sleeping 4 month old baby). Thanks.

And I love when all the pieces seem to click in to place. That "wow" reaction after the final page is just the best feeling!

I've heard some pretty mixed things about the first book, but I can forgive a debut novel a lot so long as the series ends on a high note. Erika Johansen is definitely one to watch.

With this one upcoming though I think it might be a great time to re-visit my 'want' to read these ones. It sounds like just the thing I will love. ;) I had thought it was a YA series though!

So I haven't finished it yet, and have been curious about this. One of my biggest questions is the link between the old world and the current one, and what actually happened. Maybe I just wasn't getting answers quick enough ha ha. Or maybe I just wanted it t stay fantasy after really liking the first one.<br /><br />Anyway great review and glad to hear she brings all the strands together and wraps things up. I may finish these yet... :) Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-39326476168427243912016-11-20T13:48:08.352-05:002016-11-20T13:48:08.352-05:00This sounds like a really interesting book.
