THIS WAS SO EXCITING! AND "TO BE CONTINUED" MEANS THERE'S MORE ON THE WAY!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I NEED IT NOW.
Seeing Lela and Ammon together melted my heart, especially knowing how it ends for them...but I'll take what I can get.
AND AND AND, for every location we got an illustration! They were perfect, and made it easy to imagine where everything is going on.
I can't wait to hold this book in my hands physically.
