I really enjoyed this book, and I think a significant part of that was because the narrator is just so good. I highly recommend that folks listen to the audiobook. Adunni is so eager to learn and grow and help other people and the reader just falls in love with her. She never stops trying to find out what happens to the gal whose room she occupies. She never stops wanting to learn and teach and read. I'm excited to read the second book in this series, and I hope the author keeps writing.
