Yes, I've read all the books and stories. Without actualy counting words I will say that Custom is far shorter than anything else, it only took about an hour to read the whole thing, if that. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: Tess 's message, "Have you read 'LJ & The Hand of the Devils,' Jayn? It's a compilation of 3 short stories. I didn't read it, but downloaded the audio version. I remember the distinct feeling at the end of all but one of them of, "Wait, no...it's over?" (grin) I wanted more of the story. I suppose it is just the short story genre that is sometimes hard to adjust to, particularly if one is so find of large books. I haven't read Custom yet, as it hasn't been available on Kindle any of the times I have checked." on 08:13:32 03/17/10 Wed

It's at least as long as "Succubus" -- just under 60 pages, but more words per page than HAND OF DEVILS, so it's hard to tell which is longer. It's certainly much longer than "Hellfire". (NT) -- Karen Henry, 09:31:55 03/17/10 Wed
- I think it was Hellfire that had me going..."NO wait! It can't be over..." Wasn't that the one where Quarry walks in on John & George Everett's telling conversation? I wanted to see more of that, and whether Harry heard any of what was said. Of course in The Private Matter there's a reference to that. John didn't know how much if anything Harry heard, or if he did, what he thought of it. (NT) -- Tess, 10:06:53 03/17/10 Wed
  - Yes, that was Hellfire. It was just before Harry killed George who was going to kill LJ. LJ never knew how much Harry heard or understood but I (IMO only) think he knows exactly. Maybe custome just seems shorter to me because Hand of Devils was only my 2nd book, I didn't know the characters or what was to come, and I hadn't fallen so completely into that world.
