I love Alexandra Quick. I only just discovered your writing, and have already read all your books. I noticed you saying somewhere that reviewers have told you they liked AQ just as much as Hogwarts Houses Divided. I too read that book first, and have to admit, while I was impressed with the level of quality a fanfic had, I thought it had at least a flaw that I noticed - at least for me, it seemed as if you wrote a little too much about every character's emotional reaction in a given situation at times, I thought it made for slightly overkill.
I went into AQ with some skepticism, after all, this was not even a HP fanfic, with the only point of connection being the rules of magic and the name of Voldemort. But AQ is a marvelous series. The writing is excellent. I often found myself wondering if you're not actually JK Rowling doing a pet project of sorts. If not for the differences from Rowling's world, however subtle, I would still wonder that, I think.
It has been a really long time since I have been this invested in a character, a world, or a series of books. That is what I want to thank you for. The only regret I have is the knowledge that it will be hard to discover and replicate that literary attachment to anything else until you write the next book.
Thank you for AQ. And good luck in all your endeavours.
