Review: Good novella

I usually don't like novellas, because you usually don't get developed characters. The trick is to keep the number of characters at a minimum and just work on them. That was done well with Paxton and Jane, the main characters here. Paxton has the ability to hear the thoughts of everyone around him, but is unable to shut any of it out, resulting in a near crippling cacophony of constant mental noise. Jane has a quiet, peaceful mind that provides the balance he needs to stand his affliction. Of course, they have to have a harrowing adventure together first, but maybe Jane can save Pax from himself.
