Wow

Well, I did finish Her Fearful Symmetry today. I still haven't quite figured out the connection to The Time Traveler's Wife, but I wasn't expecting the first big twist in the story. Every so often, as I continued the story, I would think about that twist, and had a bit of trouble understanding exactly how it worked/what happened. It's still a bit confusing - although possibly more so for some of the characters involved. Although it wasn't much before it happened, I did guess/suspect the second big twist in the story. I'm not sure I'm happy it happened that way, but the given explanation makes sense and it does seem to turn out okay in the end, but still...

I have since started Secret of the Seventh Son and am somewhat enjoying it, but it's a little slow starting, and I haven't found any of the "historical mystery" that the cover suggests is blended into the story. So far, the modern day thriller part isn't too bad though. I'm hoping the pace will pick up a bit - I suspect it will as the one character has been assigned to the case. I keep almost picturing him as Special Agent Seeley Booth from the tv show Bones, but I think only because they're both FBI Agents - the rest of what I've read so far leaves no real connection between the two of them.

Although I can't remember who or why, in one of the last few books I've read, one of the characters kept reminding me of a tv show character with the same name - I wish I could remember the name of the character, the book, and the tv show, but I just can't right now.
