I’ll be reviewing Mr. Messer’s book just as soon as I can borrow my library’s copy again. Thanks to everyone for voting! In case you’re interested, here is the tally of votes from this site and from Goodreads, where some folks voted on my blog post in the comments there. As you can see, the winner is clear with 72 votes, but there were some neck and neck ties amongst the other titles.
Cheers!

I can’t wait to read your review of Stephen Messer’s book, Windblowne. I predict you will be “blowne” away. :0) I did notice his name is misspelled in the post above.
Happy Reading, Nicole
I’m also excited to read your review of this book. I don’t normally read fantasy, so it was a different read for me. I enjoyed it!
My students and I will look forward to your review!
