Yes, well met and welcome to the forums, Oblivia (love your avatar!).
I love that we get two books for the one story again, especially as Robin had to go back and add a few more things once the decision to release two was made. Just imagine the good stuff she'd have had no choice but to delete if her publishers had said, "We're not doing that two book thing again...go back and rework your manuscript so it's only enough for one."
From reading her comments on the newsgroup, Robin herself was quite pleased with the result as she was then able to go back and expand on some of the character developments and ideas, not to mention she seemingly didn't get into strife for already having exceeded her previously allowed limit - BRAVO publishers!
I guess the more words, pages and books we get, the 'fuller' and more well-rounded the story we receive and thus a greater understanding of the story Robin has to tell. There are so many riddles to nut out, I need as many extra words as I can to help me...though the extra words probably contain just as many more extra riddles!
I agree, waiting does increase the level of expectation to often unrealistic heights (we're human after) and it's sanity-saving to be able to just come on here and chat about things in the meantime...I think I'd have been driven mad without thePlenty and all of you!!!
