Anyone else... disappointed? [PT/BG spoilers]

I actually have the opposite of anticipation for Mirror Mirror. I expect it's going to feel a *lot* like Ghost Story did when it first came out. (Though Ghost Story is an *excellent* book on rereading, hopefully Mirror Mirror will be too.)
I expect to feel like we waited a year or more for another book -- and we still don't get to see the community Harry's built in the Castle or his new relationships or how mortal Chicago is changing (and not changing) in the wake of Battle Ground.
All of that will get shunted to the side for a trip into an alternate timeline, and that's going to be frustrating.
I'm trying to temper my anticipation, because barring a flurry of new short stories, it's going to be two or three years before we get to see the real aftermath of the Battle of the Bean.

I am trying not to anticipate anything one way or the other.. I do think that somehow Ferrofax screwed up or was unable to completely keep reality and the alternate reality separate. I think this is why Bob devoted two pages to it in Battle Ground. Harry will have to fix it, I also think this why Chandler was thrown into where ever alive, and not killed to be turned like the two others. Harry will find and save him, he may speak for Harry later.

It not be so little time, JB is writing The Olympic Affair, I believe.

In a series of this magnitude and depth there will be “off”
Books. If MM is similarly “off” from the rest of the series as PT/BG is I’ll reconsider my views.

All I am saying is people here at least have been excited and trying to guess the plot of MM three or four books ago! Without even knowing what was going to happen in the books in-between. What I am saying is when that happens it usually disappoints because nothing can live up to that kind of anticipation. I know the original Classic Trek story well, and while I liked it well enough, it was never one of my favorites. So I never could get excited in anticipation that far out.. Anyway, if the premise was set up about reality being damaged by the attack with the eye, and the power Ferrofax had over it, it may be very interesting.
