That’s the same copy I got from the library. 😃

Hooray for me! though it's been long enough since I read the book that I don't remember many specific scenes or what characters were in them.

None of my local libraries has a copy, so audiobook it is! I need to hurry up and finish listening to my current book first to make sure I can get through the twenty hours of Snow Queen before the end of November.

Mine just came in on LA Public Library. Need to finish up Children of Ruin and then get to it. LAPL upped the number of copies recently, possibly due to this read.

The very lasery illustration on the inside front cover of the UK paperback (same artist as the cover) looks a little like Tom?

I'm disabled, so getting to, and navigating around a used bookstore is not feasible for me. Also, my nerve pain is so bad right now that I have to use an e-reader, as manipulating a physical book is too taxing for me. That's what makes me so furious about the Macmillan garbage -- because it hurts people who need the access to e-books the most. For some using e-books is a choice, for others, it's a necessity.

There is only a single copy in all the DC area libraries and no e-book in any of their Overdrive collections. Good thing I have Audible credits.
