LOL, I'm not sure exactly, I'm not sure it was entirely logical. I guess, the fact that Seanan thinks you would make a good Sarah Zellaby makes me well disposed to her and the book, and also makes me think that I'd like the character, and by extension the book :)

(I tried the first two Toby Daye books and the first two Newsflesh books, and loved the characters and the setting, but was unreasonably annoyed by the plot, so I'm teetering back and forth on whether I wanted to read more or not, so some nice second degree connection, even a minor one, makes me more positively inclined :))
