The Ancient Blades

The Ancient Blades — (2011-2012) Publisher: Born and raised in the squalid depths of the Free City of Ness, Malden became a thief by necessity.

I thought that gesture undermined a lot of the tension that was created over the whole serie […]

Comment on The Ocean at the End of the Lane: An evocative return to childhood by Bibliotropic
I've been seeing lots of hype for this book and I think already that it's going to be one I'll enjoy.
