Wow, that was pretty awesome.
I'm really looking forward to continuing this series.

Re-read continues!!

Surprisingly, I think I liked this one a lot more than I did as a kid. As a kid I found it boring, which I get... compared to the first two books which jump from one year to the next in the same chapter keeping up with the action, this book really slowed things down.
First book: 4 years
Second book: 3 years
Third (this) book: 1 year
A huge difference, especially when the book is larger. There was a lot to read and learn here, and yes quite a few problematic parts, WHICH even the author has admitted too and regrets, so I can forgive it.
Potential spoilers ahead:
I did notice a weird shift in Jonathon, but this may be because 1. we really didn't spend MUCH time with with him in the other books to truly learn about him, and 2. the author must have been trying for many different angles to keep Alanna and him a part.IT MAKES SENSE. A lady knight who wants to adventure and protect the realm will not want to settle down and listen to politics all the time. In fact, she really never liked the parties and court side of the palace anyhow. I guess this rant just means I understand even MORE why I prefer her and George <3

Looking forward to the last book, but doubt I'll find the time to finish it tonight ^_^;

Generally, I like Gaiman books– not always 5 stars, but enough that I can say I like them. Most I've even listened too, so I thought this book would also follow the same line for me. It did start off GREAT. I was loving this one. 

Then things seemed to slow down and I realized I had no idea where the plot was going. As an audiobook, this just doesn't work for me. Note on narrators: Loved it. I love the full cast and every one of them fit and sounded great. I really liked the narrator for Shadow There are also quite a few plot lines...I think, which again is hard in audio format for me. 
But, because of the slower pace and it being slightly confusing I just don't think this one is for me. 

omg now that I know that this series is only 6 books long everything is falling into place. I was wondering if this was going to happen, but thought Seth was going to be in the past eventually. Now to see if my guess is correct and move on.

I'm just losing interest in this story... I'm not sure what it is, but perhaps I just need more about characters than Harry– even the background of him is barely moving to the point I don't care anymore :/ I'll give the next one a try, but I'm not in any hurry to get to it.
