You claim this as a combo for 20.3. Is it written from two different POV? This author doesn't give up gender and so we don't know which. Also, this series has just 2 installments (the 2nd one forthcoming), but it appears it is intended to continue and we will allow it for 20.9.

I am sorry I jumped to conclusions as the author appeared female in the photo at the back of the book. I am happy to forgo the combo points on this one.

Beth, I cannot account for the fact that this Kindle edition is 541 pages and nearly all other editions, including the MPE, are 380 pages, more or less. I'm sorry, but this does not qualify for those jumbo points.
