I really enjoyed this one! I thought a lot of the language used was awkward - nobody used contractions for some reason. But the characters were cute, and the idea of stories helping remind us of our humanity was an important message. Petra as a character bothered me a bit, as she was constantly flip-flopping in her decisions. However, the plot was a nail-biter and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Overall, it was entertaining and I'll be checking out more of the author's books.
