actual title of the post: ONE CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT HOT PIECE OF ATTOLIAN MANFLESH Pretty sure we knew that was coming from some interview or something Megan did...IDK. I did. But I was still very saddened by this absence. And look at you bein' all considerate.
This feels like a setting-the-pieces novel, and so it was of course going to be shorter, and its not-as-goodness is perhaps going along I definitely got that from this one. I don't know why that's all I have to say on the matter. But it is. Deal with it.

I have an answer as to why we didn't get more from Eddis's POV about her and Sophos. I will tell you when I am more awake. I am looking forward to it! Also, my book got here when I was out of town, so now that I'm back, I'm soooo excited to read it!
