After reading Malin’s rave review of A Promise of Fire last year, I read the book but for some reason I didn’t review it. I have no idea why. Last year was a weird year.

If you’re new to the series, start with book one. If you like going in not knowing anything, come back and read this review once you’ve finished […]
