I picked up this book to take a bit of a break from some of the darker/more dense fantasy I've been reading recently, and it was absolutely what I was looking for. While there is definitely some darker subject matter in this one, the YA...
I got this book in July's Illumicrate box, and I really enjoyed it. I don't mind a good sci fi read now and then, and this one hit the spot nicely. I did run into the same problem I often do with stories told from...

Another tale from Mark Lawrence set in the world of Abeth. Overall, I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the Book of the Ancestor series, but I think that's largely because Nona Grey was such a force of a character that it's really hard...
