Pros
I listened to this book on audio. The performance was great, if you have the opportunity, listen to the audiobook.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book and thought it was paced well.

The development of the friendship between Tom and Hester was well done and I can't wait to see that explored more.

I liked how complex Valentine was.

Cons
I wish Tom had a bit more personality.

Maybe a little less character death would be nice.
