Rebecca: I have not read it yet, but given that I’ve loved all her other books, I’m expecting greatness!

Typesetjez: Thank you! So pleased you liked it. Even more pleased I made you squeal! I look forward to your review.

Hello there, I just finished Magic’s Child (as of 8 minutes ago exactly) and I had to come on here and talk about how brilliant it was (spoiler free!).
I had pre-ordered it from Amazon and since the day it was released I’ve been tracking it (isn’t the internet great?) and knew it would show up today, but that didn’t make me any less excited. A box with my name on it filled with hardcovers of the entire Magic or Madness series? How could I not be excited?
But yes, I got it this morning and I only put it down to go into work. I finished it at exactly 23:59, technically still all in one day. I just couldn’t stop reading it! And it made me such an “active reader” which I’m usually not (usually I’m completely sucked into the book and my body may as well be empty) but your book was so good I would squeal, gasp, and at one point I was bouncing on my bed angrily (not fond of that new pairing you subjected us to). I’m not going to give any of your readers here a chance to spoil themselves (you know who you are, just go read the book!) but the whole story threw me for a curve, such an amazing twist!
I sincerely hope you’ll do like Scott is with Extras because I really want to know what happens next!

Oh, and expect a full review out of me on my blog once I actually get some sleep.

Oooh! I totally second your recommendation of KING OF ATTOLIA. I read all three books last week: So! Very! Excellent! I think I read KING three times in a row. And the happy buzz stayed with me all weekend.

I’ve never read Megan Whalen’s series. I’m kinda addicted to Sarah Dessen’s books right now, and I keep buying books that I want to read and haven’t so I really need to catch up on the books I’ve bought before I buy more. This is what I should do. Probably not what I’m going to do. I’ve been reading like a maniac lately, and I’m not really sure why. Last week alone I read Maureen’s 13 Little Blue Envelopes and Sarah’s This Lullaby. Right now I’m reading The Truth About Forever, and then next I’m planning on reading Scott’s The Last Days. I WOULD read Magic’s Child, but I still have to find it first! (I’m too impatient to buy things online. Its just not “how I do”.) Anyway, I suppose I should add that triology to my list. And to end this extremely long comment off nicely…I don’t know who I’d vote for either.

Well, there’s always Vonnegut’s ‘Slapstick,’ where NY may be deserted, but is at least not decimated…

I’m very, very curious to see the state of New York City in Pfeffer’s “sequel” to Life. Reading Devilish now and it makes me want cupcakes…
