35 books in, and although I've been entertained by this series, it's long past due for some serious character growth--not just on the part of Jill (who I found to be a bit more rude than she normally is--and I don't consider that character growth, sorry), but on all of them (including the minor characters, like Mr. Ivers). I can tell something big is coming (no pun intended), so maybe that's a sign. ( )
