Notes

Described as a "long novella". It's unclear whether the word count exceeds the 40,000 cut-off threshold for novellas. Both the Kobo US length (44K words which may contain extra materials) and the Audible length (4 hrs and 19 mins) lean towards a novel length but both are within the possible margin of error around the 40K words. An exact count needs to be performed to determine the exact format.
