The Fight-- My thoughts of the book thus far

I read this section of the book while at a Youth Conference, the book has quickly become one of my escapes, as I read I would be approached by many, curious people thinking I had received the highly anticipated book 7 of Harry Potter... after I told them what I was actually reading and a brief summary, most claimed that they wanted to read the book.

I am so intrigued by the book... the story progresses at a rate that keeps my interest and keeps just enough hidden to peak my curiousity. My biggest surprise came when I read how Dana and Kevin met and it was revealed that Kevin was a white man, I feel this was a brilliant choice that Octavia made, I had hoped that Kevin would experience the time travel and when he was pulled back I knew the couple was in for an interesting time. The development of the Weylins was done so thoroughly that I could relate them to people I have met seamlessly, I especially enjoy how the Weylins fear Dana because they cannot explain her, it's very representative of how humans become uncomfortable around the unknown.

The questions that I have encountered have been resolved by the story's progress and there seem to be few loose-ends, I cannot wait to continue the book and find out how Dana loses her arm... I keep thinking each time she is pulled back it will be the time, but when it doesn't happen, I want to continue reading until it is uncovered.

Kevin being white caught me by suprise too. I'm sure that's the reaction butler was aiming for, but my suprise, suprised me!
