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!
