And scratched my head trying to figure it all out, haha. It's only 220 pages or so....but I'm still trying to figure it out. Can't wait for the next one in May! I saw an interview with the author and he promises it won't be a weird LOST ending, so I figure I'm in. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16344564674518342228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078315941472495277.post-54561655812326579222014-03-02T14:53:35.260-08:002014-03-02T14:53:35.260-08:00I really should mention that Nancy at Bookfoolery ...I really should mention that Nancy at Bookfoolery read it at the same time and she was way more forgiving of the going nowhere thing than I was.
