Just like with the first book, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. As I stated in my review of Walk on Earth a Stranger, I went into the series expecting a historical fantasy.

I think it’s the latter part that makes it interesting to me. It’s no secret […]

I really felt for the characters and […]
