I was exceedingly pleased and excited to get a starred review for The Demon's Surrender from the Bulletin Center for Children's Books. Starred reviews are fancy! And rarer for later books in a series. So, much celebration! And here with spoilers redacted is said fancy review...

The characters have been developed, the battle lines drawn, and the ( Read more... )

A starred review from the BCCB is seriously great. They know their books.

Congrats on the well-deserved good review!

Fiiiinally read your book! Very glad for Alan and oh oh Sin and her fragile-brittle confidence where Alan is concerned <3. Nothing more complicated than that to say - probably need to re-read the whole trilogy closer together than a year between books to really pick up on all the stuff I am sure I missed - but it'll be like re-visiting old friends next time around.

Looking forward to seeing what else you're writing. And congrats on this review too!

That is indeed a lovely and well-deserved review!

The chat was epic btw, and so much fun! Thanks for chatting with us. (:

Congrats on the awesome review! (:

I just wanted to say that the Livechat was so much fun (although as my first, very hard to keep up with!) and thank-you so much for doing it!
I was able to participate for a lot of it, but I couldn't stay for the whole chat (damn timezone!), and I wanted to just ask, how many deleted scenes did you share altogether? I want to make certain that I didn't miss any as they were all so incredibly fantastic :D!

Also, I was wondering if it would be alright by you if I shared some quotes from the deleted scenes (obviously with explanation and full credit to you!) elsewhere, for example on my tumblr?

Thank-you again, and I look forward to more chats for future books :D!

Sharing is fine! And there is a full transcript of the chat up on marmalade_fish.

I'm so glad you enjoyed!

Fantastic, thank-you :D!

I really really enjoyed it, it was so much fun! I may have been half-dead the next day, but it was more than worth it! Thank-you so much for doing it (:!

Hi Sarah! I just finished re-reading the trilogy and *somehow* ended up to your blog immediately after :). I'm really bummed I couldn't make to the chat but happy for the transcript. Right now I feel I can't in no way express how much I enjoyed and loved your books, how much I felt for the characters, and how I so much would want to read more but at the same time feel completely happy and joyful about the ending and how it was carried out.

Congratulations on the review, it said some things I wanted to say, but much more eloquently than I ever could.

Readers can expect to have their mettle tested and their own hearts broken and mended multiple times as they surrender to the force of this final chapter.
