I was star. Will I live to see the end of this series? MINOR SPOILERS! Tabby1249 I'm torn. There are parts of "Written in My Own Heart's Blood" that are equal to some of the best I've ever read, but then there are some elements that I came to feel were self-indulgent vanities on the part of the author.
