Stormdancer Jay Kristoff Book Review
August 23, 2012
Perhaps the thing that stuck with me the most after reading Jay Kristoff’s Stormdancer is that I would like an arashitora – a half eagle, half tiger- of my very own.

For real, if you are craving female centered, medieval-esque setting fantasy, Seraphina is your ticket. Goredd is a medieval kingdom where there […]
