The Companion opens in media res with a fast paced story to tell, which is testimony to the author's succinct and detailed writing style. Margot, the protagonist, is a complicated character - a sole survivor, following an accident which wiped out her family, and she has plenty of space to grow throughout the novel.

The writing style, character building and fast pace which is present in the preview is encouraging and offers promise of a novel I'd wish to read.

The image present on the cover is unconventional and, while the relevance is not yet known, I feel it is memorable and striking.
