Hi Karen,
I am soooooo jealous that you are going to the book signing today. I have 2 little ones with me at home today that are dictating my schedule. I am comforting myself with the hope that "Herself" will make her way back this way when the next book comes out!
Part 2 had me wondering if there will be more revealed regarding Jamie's abiilty to "see" the children in his dreams. I think it will be interesting to see how/if that is addressed. Since Jamie is unable to travel through the stones, I think it's cool he has his special connection with the kids through his dreams. Although I am hesitant to make progress when I go to LOL and read the spoilers, I know I will be suffering from a little bit of stress as I get further into the book.
I am curious to see how this Willie-Dottie story plays out. Part of me feels the Lord John-Willie storyline seems to be going slower than other parts of the book, but I am hoping that at some point there is some correspondence between Jamie and Lord John. I am not feeling their connection right now.
Have fun today - I am sure I have more thoughts on Part 2, but it is early and my brain is not bringing any other thoughts to mind.
Kelly K.
