One thing I like a lot is a lot of the problems Blythe brought in the last book have been addressed and challenged. It was really refreshing to see all of the pack expanding more into their own lives, pursuing their own tastes and rejecting the strictures that Blythe forced on them as her version of a very narrow view of feminism. Reading this really helps deal with a lot of the problems on feminism in the first book because it helps parse the good messages that were given and the arbitrary restrictions that Blythe imposed; rather than presenting them as one solid chunk.

In answer to a backer question, if you want more than one t-shirt or book but don't want to back twice, simply add a bit more to your pledge: I'll contact you each individually regarding size, style, etc once the Kickstarter is over. In the meantime, feel free to add a bit to your pledge for each extra tee or book you want! What a week of good news! We've hit our Kickstarter goal, so you'll be getting your rewards soon! This has been something I've been wanting to do for a while, not only for convenience's sake for folks who like audiobooks, but also for visually-impaired readers who don't always like to rely on type-to-text technologies.
