read in a very long time. Thanks for writing it and more

importantly for letting us know there will be a book for each

initiate. I am very much looking forward to each one.

I can't decide on a favorite character, I truly loved each one

for different reasons. I can't wait to see what happens to

each one!  Will we find out what is happening in Piper's new

world?  Will Ana and Finn find each other?  Will Ginny find

herself? I know Holly will figure out her new role she is

powerful and grounded in a truly remarkable way. Her story

will be fascinating to discover, I have no doubt.  What will

happen between Sylvie and Callum?  There is so much to

talk about these characters.  One thing that I love most

about this book is Avening itself. I would love to live there! I

would love a cup of coffee from Hallowed Grounds, browse in

Autumns store, by some flowers from Finn's shop, and have

Justy design some shoes just for me. I think the thing that

resinated with me the most is that each of us as women, no

matter what our background, or where we find ourselves in

life, there is a gift of magic in each of us.  Each of us has our

own gift to bestow upon the world and perhaps the hardest

part is to discover what that gift is and how to develop it to

help others.  What do you think? Please pipe in... let's get to

talking about these characters, how the book made us feel,

what we hope for the characters, what we didn't like. Let's

make Avening come to life thru each of us that took the time

to join this forum... there's so few of us!  I have to think we

have come here for a reason.
