 Sara Carter wants to be famous. She wants to be remembered. How, why and for what is by-the-bye. She just wants to be famous. And with her innate sense of the dramatic and impeccable timing, no one who knows her would be in the least bit surprised to see Sara hit the headlines. However, underneath the obsession with celebrity Sara is brittle, fragile; struggling with self-image and identity, it seems possible that she is hovering on the edge of a personality disorder.

	\|comment= Yes, you need to read Bloodtide also. These two are Conor's favouritest ever books. I think they are absolutely superb. There's an excellent video of Burgess talking about it on meettheauthor.co.uk. I would like to see him try for something slightly less dark like Beowulf and see how he treats that. Um... because it's written for children?! You have an alarming conception that if something is good or in the least bit sophisticated, it can't really be for children you know!		\|comment= Yes, you need to read Bloodtide also.
