Nope. But heard of that book.
I say a bit younger, but above 45. 50?
I would say she was about the same age when she went in. I think the other place ages your outside not your insides. I think Kitty may have felt aged but her mind was unaltered.

Anyone?
She is said to have grey hair - so its surely more than a 35 yrs. Mightbe she became 60?
i don't know about the majority of people, but my mum started going grey in her late thirties - early forties... *shrugs* i'm going for early fifties though.

That's true. But her energy for a bit of time failed.
Edit: Mum gray at 30? Wow!
hmm, maybe the other place drains humans' life essences to reinforce that of the spirits or something, and that's why she was so weak and aged... *shrugs* anyway, i actually really like how that happened. so many authors want their heroines almost perfect, so having one age and go gray was a very unique move by Stroud.

late thirties, mind you (because i wasn't born when she was 30 lol). i put it down to an extremely stressful job (nothing to do with me ;) ).

Yeah. He weaved this so well, yet it isn't as famous as Harry Potter.
Heh. I just saw a ad on hair. ;)
And if it was a stressful job, then you have my sympathy. :D

i'm sure the fandom will increase in numbers if they end up making the movie. then Stroud's work will at least get some of the attention it deserves. i recommend it to customers at work, in the hope that someone will realise how good it is and convert others. but while this is happening slowly, i'm content with the knowledge that i've introduced a couple of people to a genuinely awesome series :D

Computer's been dead. I'll be gone through the weekend, I'm borrowing one now, and have to give it back tonight, so school's the only way for me to post here, but I will.
Aww poor Dansariki! That sucks! I havent been online for like 5 days cause I had a fever and wanted to stay curled up in bed lol. :whistle:

And the fact that it isn't as big as Harry potter still puzzles me. It is 9in my opinion) a much better book series.

I think that. Since the demons essence dissipates overtime in the human world. The same happans to humans in the otherplace. So Kitty could just have been a little weak like when a demon is first summoned. SO since it would be like that Kitty would be weak. And therefore she could have gray hair but her age could have slightly altered but not greatly.

I agree that it was just her body, not mind, that was altered.

Yes, I agree with everything except for the first summon thing. Djinni when first summon are unfamiliar with things, but have the most energy. Not weak.
