I can see why Nona caused Tamsyn Muir to write a complete additional book in a series. She really is that special. The blurb on the cover is completely accurate - I do love Nona, and I know she loves me, too.

Proper review to come when I have more time to think about this beyond expressing my opinions in memes.
