I'm very annoyed at Amazon. On the package tracking page, it lists UPS as the sender. It has a UPS tracking number. By 6 PM, UPS still had not come, so I wandered out to check the mail. Turns out it was sent by USPS, not UPS. The book had arrived at 10 AM. I waited eight hours longer than I had to, not wanting to leave earshot of the door so I could sign for the box. Thanks, Amazon.
I'm in the middle of chapter 6, about 100 pages in. I've not read this much (on paper) in such a short time since the last HP book. *rubs eyes* All in all, I like it. I'm not bouncing in my chair, but I'm enjoying it. A couple people have called it 'a really good fanfic', and that description works for me, too.
That being said, if I hadn't been totally spoiled, I'm sure I'd be liking it more. ( For example... (spoilers for whole book back here) )
I was hoping to finish the book tomorrow, but seeing how I lost most of today, I doubt that'll be happening.

FFXI: Slow day. Caught a Besieged this morning, two more overdue. Did my digging, lost Hot & Cold yet again. Nothing much else.
