I hope you like it. I just found it to be such a great blend of plot and character- kept me reading, but also made me think.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. She blends a lot of plot with a lot of thought and that’s catnip for me.

Thank you! It’s harder when I loved the book because I want to do right by the author- if that makes sense. This one took me way too long…

Right?! The perfect blend of plot and character. There were no lulls and her writing is so strong. I’m having a bit of a hangover form it- the writing in the next book I started feels flat and weak.

I love the end of your review because this is the kind of reading (or listening) I want all the time, too!
