I was shocked by how much it would affect me.I did not have the so-call 'usual' reaction to the story or to the characters.The 1st bk pretty much held onto my attention, as much as the 2nd bk.The 3rd bk as well but it was a torture, so much so that I flipped to the last page to see....And the effect on me shocked even myself.I was really close to put the book down when I didn't get the ending that I predicted...I didn't know I'd react this way towards the story, when I saw how it ended for the 3rd book.But what caught me off guard was that when I truly know the ending of the entire story, I heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that THAT was the ending that was meant to be, right from the beginning.Okay, so my reaction to the story pretty much say abt my character... I dun like things to go not my way. And I'll lurve it when things go my way. -shrug- It's just the way I am i guess, a lil bit pig-headed, a lil bit dominant and a little bit inflexible. Good thing it's nt towards everything.This is one of the fewer books that really caught on me so strongly. I guess my reaction to the ending for each book is that strong was because I could somehow feel what was going thru in that story - relating it in one way or another; be it fantasizing or daydreaming or when it really did happen.Not many authors can do that to me: bring me into their world, the characters' world. This is exactly what I hoped to do someday => bringing readers into my world, my story world when they read whatever I've written (for fun or for real).So, even if it tortures me, I'm gonna keep reading the 3rd book, then the 4th. Like how it was meant to be.
