      Agreed. It’s hard to say… but it’s interesting that someone who actually knows her says she’s of sound mind and believes she knows what she’s doing.

      I know – I’m superexcited about the All Souls series and at the same time trying not to get my hopes up too high, because it’s still only “in development.”

      I know – I really hope it pans out! I think each book will do better as a TV adaptation (in several parts) than as a movie. But of course I have no idea what they are planning, only that Deborah Harkness says it’s “in development”. Fingers crossed!
