This was such a fantastic Christmas present. I've been reading and enjoying this series ever since its first installment, and now I think I'm going to have to go back and read it all over again.

Hopefully I'll be able to organize my thoughts a little better in a bit, but for now - wow. You two never cease to amaze me with your fabulous writing, characterization and plot.

(And, uh, I apparently read "penultimate" as "ultimate," there. I'm so happy there's still one more to go!)
