Audiobook. I took a pause of several months after the last book bc of events <death of a character/> and bc change of narrators. I appreciated the author’s note at the start of this one, introducing the new narrator. The new narrator is ok, though I dislike the way he voices Ruth - she sounds like a shrew, a witch, a ptarmigan, or any older woman who isn’t the traditional grandmother type. This story was intense! I’m a little scared of what will happen next.
