See, I didn't know at all that Aunt Annie is Anne McCaffrey. That definitely enhances my appreciation for the book.
I don't know, I like Ronan a lot too, but I feel like he has less actual personality on display in this book than he does in #8. Partly I'd think that's because the length of Abroad is so short, compared with the longer lengths that have become okay in YA recently. But, yeah, he dresses all in black, and gives Nita some sarcasm, and then he freaks about the Defender, then recovers, and then the book ends. It's very brief.
