I can't believe I read BOTH Sword & Laser picks this month, and this one I listened to. I wish I had read the print, only because the narrator has that particular British storytelling voice that makes me want to nap immediately - a snowy day, roaring fire, cozy blanket voice.

Great idea and some great visuals! I can never remember the name of this book, though - I keep calling it "the red, grey, black, and white book." I wasn't totally on board with some of the way the resolution played out, but it's a quick and fun read.
Love the cover. ...more
