I’ve heard good things about that book! And it seems my Barnes & Noble stocks some of her titles… Hmmmm. Perhaps an exploratory venture is necessary. 🙂

The TBR pile grows and grows. Also, Mark Lawrence has a new book scheduled to drop on May 11th. Not only does he organize/sponsor SPFBO and participate in multiple forums (including r/fantasy on reddit), but he is a top tier author.
