This immediately became one of my favorites. The chapters are short (which I love) and this story was so intense and immersive (which in itself was a great feat, considering the characters were "blind" the majority of the time and therefore we got no description beyond sound and touch). I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The amount of talent it takes to make a reader feel the intensity and nervousness and to be just as on edge as the characters without using sight descriptors is immense. I'm so excited to read the sequel.
