I was on a definite book high when I finished this. I believe I used the word “ensorcelled” when I talked about what it was like to read the first book in this duology, Strange the Dreamer.

The story itself is totally today, but still the creators are paying honor to the classics. The story is every few years giant robots from outer space come to bond with cadets from the Sky Corps Academy. Sixty-years ago, the […]
