<b><u>Before Reading:</b></u>
      I thought I had to wait an additional 3 weeks maximum to get my hands on the county library's ebook copy of The Iron Traitor.

      But then a genie decided to grant my wish – or was it because there were more holds on it? – and the county library bought a second copy, much to my enthusiasm and glee that I wouldn't have to wait for about 3 weeks (all I'm going to respond to your envy, L, is to go put yourself on the hold list before it gets bigger or buy a copy. Sorry! Dx).

      And then I realized I was going to have juggle with multiple books (more than the usual). >_< I feel like making an anime face that's saying, "OMG, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" and then facepalming. Or doing a classic headdesk with the hair fanning out. :p

      So I essentially had to wing it out and check it out on the last day it would be held for me... and then attempt to finish it within 3 weeks.

      Looks like I need to lock myself in my room again and turn off the – oh, wait. I can't turn off the laptop. It's an ebook. -_- Mother, we need to have a mother-daughter talk of going to the library ASAP.

      Looks like my challenge for the next 21 days is to avoid doing tasks that can be put off until a bit later. (I'll fail alright... but all that matters is that I'll hopefully not have to stick myself to the hold list and wait for a few more months.) o_o
 
     Despite all that, I was still literally "dancing" on books.
 
     But there's no torturous cliffhanger at the end like it was in The Eternity Cure, is there Julie? :O x30
 
<b><u>After Reading:</b></u>
      No. Just. NO. *shakes head in a "Nope, that wasn't what I just read. Nope. I don't believe this at all. I'm sleeping and someone needs to pinch me and then I'll be awake and everyone will be living a happily ever after, despite the fact they're not real." (I wish they were. :p)*

      You know what? Forget that I asked that last question about torturous cliffhangers. It's going to happen.

      And it shall be EXCRUSIATING.

      Simply because I – and possibly many others – have to wait a year. >_< Julie, you are officially an evil author.

      But I still love your writing. Why? Because while it may be set in the same world as Books 1-4 in the series, it's still amazingly well-written and there are still surprises in store that are totally unexpected.

      (psst! Recommendation! Go. Read the series if you haven't; you have a lot of awesomeness to catch up to! :o)

      But I'm still not happy with the ending.

      I'll deal with it. And survive.

      I think. O_o

      Oh, and I was thankfully spared from having to deal with reading so many books. *phew* On the bright side of everything, I'm also spared from staying on the hold list. Not that I mind rereading The Iron Traitor.

      And I forgot another thing... can I have a gremlin? :D? Razor's simply adorable.
