I had just the opposite feeling. I was hoping to dump the little characters
and move to the high level characters. If only to start fresh with
something...

Honestly, I am excited about the high powered plot, but I was hoping
we would stick with the lower level characters for awhile. I was
wondering how you were going to structure it (do all the lower level
stuff, then higher level or switch back and forth), and I was really
hoping to work with Ilana, Kilian, Sonya, et al. They have my focus
right now.
