Feels like a bit of a struggle to engage that part of my brain lately, but I have still been reading lots, so you still get the pleasure of lots of reading updates instead 😀 Recently Finished: PRIEST OF BONES by...

I've got to say, this is the first time I've encountered an epic fantasy novella. And when this book opened with a tense and thrilling fight scene I could tell I was in for a wild ride.
