I am typing this through bleary, bloodshot eyes having read Solstice in one sitting (or lying!) last night. I had been holding off from even finishing Moondance since before Yule but finished that the night before. My reluctance to read Solstice, and even finish Moondance was simply that I didn't want to get to the end and now that I have; a sense of awe and sadness. Awe at Kit's creative power to suck me into Stonewylde again and a profound sadness that I've reached the end.
At least there is the prospect of books 4 & 5 to ensure I can journey to Stonewylde again.
