I DID read that, and yes, I can completely see what you mean. I devoured it, too, DWJ books never last long around me. But that was a few months ago, which may mean it's time for a re-read ;-)

You will like Flora's Dare, it's a good spot of growth for the characters and world without suffering from any of the symptoms of sequelitis. Though I had to laugh when Sarah wrote in her LJ recently that the second book of a trilogy is for snogging; you'll know what I mean once you finish!
