That is great to hear! I like solid character development. But the author has always been pretty good at that, so it's good to hear it's coming along nicely!

Just wanted to say that I just finished the author's second novel and I ended up liking it more. It's a completely different story though! It's billed as a YA romance, but I think it's more of a coming-of-age story for the two protagonists, although romance plays a small part. I didn't really like either of them at the beginning but I loved their character growth. Anyway, it sounds like she's finding her groove.

(It'll be an 8 week wait for me, but I'll have to get around to it at some point)

Hmm...I may have to check this out. I read a Very Large Expanse a while ago and really enjoyed it. I may have to add this to my reading list!
