This is not the first time something like this has happened to me, and it's very demoralizing. Anyway, I made haste and got out The Silver Branch to read immediately.

I think by now I had the girls reading these and they were getting impatient with me to hurry up so they could have this one. We only had one more--the rest we were going to have to get from the library. Oh horrors!

I didn't like this as much as the first book. It was harder to read, somehow. But I did enjoy it, and the details are amazing.
