Shadows by Robin McKinley | Book Review

The crux of the matter is that I really, really love Robin McKinley’s books, but unfortunately Shadows turned out to be kind of a really big disappointment. I mean, it’s not like I ever expect to dislike her books. No, instead, I go in expecting a book that is not exactly going to be a fast […]

A World Without Princes by Soman Chainani | Audiobook Review
