Herbal info

I normally don't buy abridged novels. Somehow I didn't realize this one was. I miss the extra details and content of an unabridged version. Like the gardening lore of the series.

Terrible narration.

Susan should not read her books! Makes me not want to listen to any more. This is not her forte. Stick to writing. Tone, rhythm, accents, feeling, speed all way off! Please stop narrating.
