    Six Crimson Cranes was fantastic! And the prequel was really great too. Other books I suggest that you might like as a result? Song of the Six Realms and the Song of Silver, Flame like Night duology. 🥰

    My favorite book in June was Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson. I was kind of like you. I read Mistborn books 1 and 2 and liked the books, but didn’t love them like everyone else does. So I went into Warbreaker with very low expectations. I was blown away! The characters, story, and ending were all so good. I highly recommend this book if you want to give Brandon Sanderson another try. And it’s a standalone which is even better. Everything was wrapped up so well.

    A song to Drown Rivers was already high on my list of books I wanted to read as soon as it is released but you convinced me even more! I read I hope this does not find you from the same author and LOVED IT. It convinced me that I could still like YA romances and eat it up.
    Can't wait for A song to Drown Rivers to be released in October!

    Hi Jamie! I'm just wondering, in the book "Spells of Forgetting," when the mystery of the murder is uncovered, is it a very magical and far-fetched reveal, or does it make sense in the context of what happened?
