Argh. I have to remember _not_ to start one of these books when I have other things to do! I was supposed to be packing... Just glanced at the beginning and four hours later I've read it all. Great story - a lot of tangled events, some amazing developments, Cori managed to learn to say no, even.

The pregnancy is fascinating, all the effects it has at so many levels. There are a lot of typos, of various sorts - missing words, wrong words, etc. There was one sentence that I have no idea what it was supposed to mean. I'll be giving those details to the author. But none of that seriously detracted from the story; even the confusing sentence only pulled me out for a second, then I dove back in. And a perfect happy ending - nothing so mundane as an HAE, this is everyone finding the right place for themselves. I hope there will be more stories in this world (I want to see these kids grown up!), but this makes an excellent conclusion.
