Sounds like you're going through a tough patch all round Luna. I find hospitals to be very disempowering places, which always leaves me feeling a mixture of fear and anger, not nice. I hope your... |

I'm tempted to get this as an audiobook but I'm concerned that the number of characters would make it difficult to follow the plot. Does anyone who has read it have an opinion on whether it would... |
