I'm not all that excited at the moment, but I probably really will be once I've reread the series and get back in to it.
I can't wait either! 
I'm counting down the days!
Sadly though I will probably finish it within like 3 days and be all said because there aren't going to be any more books after this one. Every time I finish a series I always feel like I am saying goodbye to a dear friend.
I do that too! I always look forward to finishing the series, to find out the end and to have completed it, but I also hate for it too cause the magic ends.
I never would have noticed the curtain thing. That's really cool, and very... gah, I can't think of the word/phrase. forward thinking?
