What a train wreck! After reading the witness I was so happy and anxious to get my hands on this book, I really wish I didn't. I think Nora was still hearing Abigail's voice except it didn't really work for Iona. I found Iona very detached with an almost clinical point of view, she lacked fire,... She was trapped in a black and white way of thinking, very logical and almost mechanical. I could not relate to her at all and I found myself just giving up on the book many, many times and basically forcing myself to finish.
