It should be out in January, along with the collected volume two.

I knew this was coming, the moment Adrianna reappeared, I knew this moment was coming. And yet. it's here, and I'm still shocked by it. I don't believe Henry is lost, but I'm still shaking.

So, on to the analytical. I said it before, and I say it again, I don't see Adrianna fooling anybody for long. It's like Spock said, you know, the line about barbarians pretending to be civilized. Well, the same applies for insane people pretending to be sane, and Adrianna is crazy as they come. We'll just have to see how things work out.

Loved it, even if it did make me cringe!

Seconding this.

OMG, Henry

Well, this isn't good. I'll just have to trust Sloane to catch on fast and deal with the impersonator.

Jeff is the one I'm really worried about right now. When he sees Henry's eyes open, he won't be thinking, he'll be feeling. He'll be so happy that she's back he's likely to miss any red flags, or attribute them to her being disoriented. He's all alone with her, and Adrianna made it pretty clear she plans on doing some killing.

Still, I imagine she intends to try and pass herself off as Henry for a time, and that will trip her up. Henry isn't dead, or in danger of dying. Adrianna told her she'd be doing the same thing in 20 years, so she knew she couldn't kill Henry in the Whiteout Wood. All she could do was trap her there, and for Henry to get back, she needs Adrianna out of her body.

Sounds to me like someone may need to force feed her an apple. I wonder who they could find to do that?

I figure the first time Adrianna says something nasty about Gerry, the jig will be up. But yes, it's going to be especially hard on poor Jeff.

In Sloane we trust... Which sounds weird, but on the other hand she's had more experience with the narratives than the rest of the team put together. So, trust Sloane and hope.

While I'm thinking about it, I wonder if Adrianna really is Henry's auntie, or if that's another lie.

It's going to be a very long fortnight.

[jenfullmoon]

Well, there's enough of a resemblance between them for our suspicious Henry to buy it.

Things I have learned from Twitter and "Frostbite":

Seanan's real name is Adrianna.
She likes to call her bedroom "the heartland"...so much blood. :-D

[seanan_mcguire]

Heeeee.
